Project Purpose:

This game was built for the Udacity React Nanodegree Program. The purpose of the project is to demonstrate understanding of the basic structure and operation of a React-based app.

How to Load the App

You can run a hosted version of the app at myreads-sarahmaris.surge.sh/

The project uses Node.js and the Create-React-App starter. If you do not have Node >= 6.x installed, you can download it here: Node.js

Once Node is installed, navigate to the directory where you want to store the app

git clone https://github.com/sarah-maris/reactnd-project-myreads.git
npm install

Once all of the dependencies have been installed you can launch the app with

npm start

A new browser window should automatically open displaying the app. If it doesn't, navigate to http://localhost:3000/ in your browser

How to Use the App
