Create your first DApp

Time to test to make sure everything works, because I am a dummy and might have screwed it up

Create the Default Hello World DApp

open up Ubuntu to make a new project by creating a new folder with this command

mkdir testProject

change the directpry into the new project you just created

cd testProject

inside this folder we are going to create a prebuilt project for you using this command

dfx new hello

To see where this new project is installed you can use this command

explorer.exe .

Now you will want to open up VScode and click the bottome left like the image shows

select NEW WSL Window

On the left you will go into the extension tabe and instakk WSL:Ubuntu if you have not done so in the past

Time to Deploy the DApp to local Network

In VSCoder go to the terminal tab and select New Terminal

In that terminal you are go to post this commad to start DFX

dfx start

Now you will need to open another terminal by click the plus button, or going to the tab up top again

Once the new terminal is open you need to get inside the hello project by running this command

cd testProject/hello

Now you can deploy you first project running this command in the terminal

dfx deploy

Once that deploys run one last command

npm start

Congrats if all was succesfull, you launched your first DApp on your local network, oh you want to see it I guess.
