RedwoodJS

Installation & Starting Development

We'll use yarn (yarn is a requirement) to create the basic structure of our app:

yarn create redwood-app ./redwoodblog

You'll have a new directory redwoodblog containing several directories and files. Change to that directory and let's create the database, and then start the development server:

cd redwoodblog
yarn redwood dev

A browser should automatically open to http://localhost:8910 and you will see the Redwood welcome page:

Remembering the port number is as easy as counting: 8-9-10!

First Commit

Now that we have the skeleton of our Redwood app in place, it's a good idea to save the current state of the app as your first commit...just in case.

git init
git add .
git commit -m 'First commit'
