This issue was originally reported by @kyamaguchi81 via facebook/react/issues/10324

Text of original issue

Please list [You’ll need to have Node >= 6 on your machine.]
before the description in [npm install -g create-react-app],
In [Creating a New Application] of the document https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/installation.html.

Because you want to know the required version before running the command

I will work on this issue.

This issue is all yours! 😄

I've added an "in-progress" label so that others will know not to start work on the issue. If you change your mind about the issue, no worries! Just let me know so that I can remove the label and free it up for someone else to claim.

Cheers!

I will create an issue and work on it later on (regarding node-gyp failing to build on Windows)

[dance2die]

Hi @bvaughn Below is the feedback 👍 with struggles I had today.

I was finally able to get it up and running but had a lot of trouble on Windows.

Below are the steps required to get the environment running on Windows 10.

1. Get node-gyp working using this documentation on nodejs/node-gyp.
2. Installed following commands globally

yarn global add prettier
yarn global add flow-bin

3. yarn check-all fails to execute on windows.

So I had to run each command separately one by one.

prettier --config .prettierrc --write "{flow-typed,plugins,src}/**/*.js"
yarn lint
yarn flow

yarn check-all failed because of the single quotes used in the prettier command.
Instead of
prettier --config .prettierrc --write '{flow-typed,plugins,src}/**/*.js'
I had used double quotes around {flow-typed,plugins,src}/**/*.js
prettier --config .prettierrc --write "{flow-typed,plugins,src}/**/*.js"

i def think Windows setup is something that should be part of the docs for contributors. too easy for devs to just assume everyone has macs

There were no such assumptions. I just have a Mac myself and I wrote the docs so...I wrote what I know. We certainly welcome contributions to the contributing docs to improve the instructions for Windows users! ❤️

If you'd be willing to commit the changes you needed to make via a PR, @dance2die, and tag me on it- I'd be happy to merge it.
