More errata for you and for readers: if you’re using this as your very first exposure to React as I am, the installations given at the beginning of this lesson aren’t everything you need. I had to add:

npm install react-scripts react-dom (not sure if the — — save switch is needed)

I also did

npm install react

again even though I’d already installed react once, but I’m not sure if it had any effect.

Also, the GitHub labels shown next to the example files (for example “modulex-index-with-counter.js hosted with ❤ by GitHub”) aren’t the file names you need to use. Refer to the file and path names given below each one instead, for example the above one is ./src/containers/home/index.js You will need to create some of these subdirectories yourself before creating the files.

Finally, Jamie, in a couple of the files above you give us content to paste in, then later overwrite the same files with different contents before ever having tried running anything. Was there a reason for that, or is it just an editing oversight?
