We'll use the following technologies in this chapter:
- Node.js and npm: TypeScript and React are dependent on these. Install them from the following link: https://nodejs.org/en/download/. If you already have these installed, make sure npm is at least version 5.2.
- Visual Studio Code: We'll need an editor to write our React and TypeScript
