System Requirements
Before getting started with your ReactJS template, make sure your development environment meets the following requirements.
Tip: I recommend using the latest LTS version of Node.js for the best compatibility and performance.
Required Software
Node.js
Node.js is required to run the development server and build tools.
| v18.x (LTS) | ✅ Recommended | Best stability and performance |
| v20.x (LTS) | ✅ Supported | Latest LTS release |
| v16.x | ⚠️ Minimum | Some features may not work |
| v14.x or below | ❌ Not Supported | Please upgrade |
Check your Node.js version by running:
node --version
# Expected output: v18.x.x or higher
Package Manager
You can use any of the following package managers:
| Package Manager | Version | Status |
|---|---|---|
| npm | v9.0+ | ✅ Recommended (comes with Node.js) |
| yarn | v1.22+ | ✅ Supported |
| pnpm | v8.0+ | ✅ Supported |
# Check npm version
npm --version
# Check yarn version
yarn --version
# Check pnpm version
pnpm --version
Hardware Requirements
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| RAM | 4 GB | 8 GB or more |
| CPU | Dual-core | Quad-core or better |
| Disk Space | 1 GB free | 5 GB free |
| OS | Windows 10, macOS 10.15, Ubuntu 18.04 | Latest versions |
Recommended Code Editor
I recommend Visual Studio Code with the following extensions for the best development experience:
- ES7+ React/Redux/React-Native snippets – Quick component snippets
- Tailwind CSS IntelliSense – Autocomplete for Tailwind classes
- Prettier – Code formatter – Consistent code formatting
- ESLint – Code linting and error detection
- Auto Import – Automatically import components
Browser Compatibility
The template supports all modern browsers:
| Browser | Minimum Version |
|---|---|
| Chrome | v90+ |
| Firefox | v88+ |
| Safari | v14+ |
| Edge | v90+ |
Note: Internet Explorer is not supported. The template uses modern JavaScript and CSS features that are not compatible with IE.
