Deploying React applications is a quick process when you use Create React App. You run the build command to create a directory of all the files you need for a deployment. After running the build, you copy the files to the correct location on the server, pushing your application live to the web.

Running your app via a remote server means running this index.html file on the server. Netlify is a cloud service that allows you to host and deploy your React app in minutes.

Note: Create React App is not a static site generator like Gatsby, but you are using static assets, since the server does not need to run any server-side code such as Ruby or PHP. The app will use Node to run the install and build steps, but will not execute application code at the free tier.

In a terminal, run the command to build an application. In this tutorial, the project will be called react-deploy: The npx command will run a Node package without downloading it to your machine. The create-react-app script will install all of the dependencies needed for your React app and will build a base project in the react-deploy directory.
