Setting up a new React project with Formik

Step 1: Create a new React project

To begin, let's create a new React project using the Create React App tool. Open the command line or terminal and run the following command:

python
npx create-react-app .

Step 2: Install Formik library

To use Formik in our project, we need to install it as a dependency. Navigate to the project's root directory in the command line or terminal, and run the following command:

python
npm install formik

This command installs the Formik library and adds it to the project's dependencies. Once the installation is complete, we can verify if Formik has been successfully added by checking the package.json file. Open the package.json file. Look for the dependencies section, and ensure that formik (line 5) is listed with its version number:
