sh: vite: command not found

Hey there,

if you are trying to create a react app there are several tools for it.

The easiest in my opinion is using Vite.
You could opt for a preconfigured git repository to make things a little more streamlined.
For example this: https://github.com/ActuallyWIKKO/react-tailwind-vite
or this: https://github.com/ActuallyWIKKO/react-vite-tailwindcss-boilerplate

Clone one of these repositories from Github. Navigate to the directory you pulled to in your console and run:
npm init
npm install
Then run
npm run dev

To start a new project from scratch you would use this command:
npm create vite@latest
To tell vite that you would like a specific template use this command:
npm create vite@latest my-react-app -- --template react-ts

You can find more information on possible configurations here:
