Description

Social Media Clone is a simple React application intended only for practice & learning purposes. The project is a solution to a prompt in which the application must clone a given social media site mock-up, and practice breaking each element of the site into their own components.

4. In your terminal, type git clone and use the copied URL from Step 1. Or, copy the following git command:

$ git clone https://github.com/jfpalchak/social-media-clone.git

5. Navigate to the root of the newly cloned directory.
6. In your terminal, assuming Node and npm are installed, type the following command to install the project's dependencies found in package.json:

$ npm install

7. With the dependencies installed, type the following line in your terminal to run the application in development mode:

$ npm run start

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:
