Set up the environment for Random Joke Generator

Install Node.js

Download and install the LTS version of Node.js from nodejs.org. Verify installation by running **node -v** and **npm -v** in a terminal.

Initialize the React app

In your terminal, run:

npx create-react-app random-joke-generator

This sets up a new React project with all the boilerplate. Open the folder where the applications are now created, typically that will be in “C:\Users\administrator_name/random-joke-generator”. You now have package.json, public/index.html, and a src/ folder.
