  npm i
  npm start

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

npm start

Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in your browser.

The page will reload when you make changes.
You may also see any lint errors in the console.

npm run build

Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!

See the section about deployment for more information.

npm run eject

Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can't go back!

If you aren't satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.

Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you're on your own.

You don't have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn't feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn't be useful if you couldn't customize it when you are ready for it.

   • Make sure Node and NPM are installed on your computer. You can download both at nodejs.org (NPM is included in your Node installation).
   • Please see .nvmrc file at the root of react-threejs-car-racing repo.
   • Using nvm, a Node Version Manager is recommended as it helps you manage and switch between different Node versions with ease. It provides a command-line interface where you can install different versions with a single command, set a default, switch between them, etc. Here is NVM for Windows

2. In GitHub click on the repository nammed react-threejs-car-racing

3. Clone the repository locally. Run

   git clone https://github.com/sctlcd/react-threejs-car-racing.git
   

4. Install all modules listed as dependencies in package.json

   cd react-threejs-car-racing
   npm i
   

   note: in this app

   • three - JavaScript 3D library
   • react-three/cannon - Physics based hooks for react-three-fiber
   • react-three/drei - Useful add-ons for react-three-fiber
