5. Modify any WordPress config in pmpro-react-demo.php. Rename files/methods/strings as necessary.
6. Activate the plugin in wp-admin
7. Navigate to the the admin url of the plugin page, http://pmpro.local/wp-admin/index.php?page=pmpro-react-demo.
8. The page should be blank.
9. Open Terminal.
10. cd into your plugin's folder and run yarn
