I'm inside the app folder in the terminal, but I don't understand how to make the app start on browser.

17,921 PointsWhat is your environment? are you using a local machine? or your building on a remote server?
in my case, I am using AWS EC2 server. I ran "npm start" inside the scoreboard folder, then added port 3000 to the security group inbound rules in order to open the app in the browser!
hope this helps, good luck

17,921 Pointsyeah, i forgot to mention, you need to access the app by attaching the port to the url, for example
192.168.1.5:3000
