Step 1:

First we need to create a React Project, for that we need to write a command npx create-react-app facebook-clone

This will take a few minutes to install all the files.

After that, we will create folders inside the “src” folder and inside that, create a LoginPage, HeaderArea, and MainArea 

Then, we will open your app.js file there, remove the header part and write “hello World” to print it on your screen.

Remove all the app.css code, 

And inside the app.js file, remove the SVG file from the top 

Step 2:

After that, we will create a login page same as facebook 

For that, inside the LoginPage folder, create two files LoginPage.js and LoginPage.css 

In the Js file we will write all our react code, and in the CSS file we will do the styling.
