Installation

We encourage you to try React 17.0 Release Candidate soon and raise any issues for the problems you might encounter in the migration. Keep in mind that a release candidate is more likely to contain bugs than a stable release, so don't deploy it to production yet.

To install React 17 RC with npm, run:

npm install react@17.0.0-rc.0 react-dom@17.0.0-rc.0

To install React 17 RC with Yarn, run:

yarn add react@17.0.0-rc.0 react-dom@17.0.0-rc.0

We also provide UMD builds of React via a CDN:

<script crossorigin src="https://unpkg.com/react@17.0.0-rc.0/umd/react.production.min.js"></script>
<script crossorigin src="https://unpkg.com/react-dom@17.0.0-rc.0/umd/react-dom.production.min.js"></script>

Refer to the documentation for detailed installation instructions.
