In order to get started with create-react, you can do the following based on the method you prefer:

### npx

```bash
npx creat-react-app my-dapp
cd my-dapp
npx create-dapp-stack
npm install
```

If you use npm 5.1 or earlier, you can't use npx. Instead, install dapp-stack globally:

```bash
npm install -g create-reacp-app
npm install -g create-dapp-stack
```

Now you can run:

```bash
create-react-app my-dapp
cd my-dapp
create-dapp-stack
npm install
```

### npm

```bash
npm init create-react-app my-dapp
cd my-dapp;
npm init dapp-stack
npm install
```

npm init <initializer> is available in npm 6+

### yarn

```bash
yarn create create-react-app my-dapp
cd my-dapp
yarn create dapp-stack
yarn install
```

yarn create is available in Yarn 0.25+

It will create a directory called my-dapp inside the current folder.
Inside that directory, it will generate the initial project structure:

```bash
my-dapp

```

No configuration or complicated folder structures, just the files you need to build your dapp.
