+
+## How To Run The React Projects
+
+1. Navigate to the project folder (_textutils or TODO-LIST_).
+2. Open a terminal in that directory, and install dependencies:
+
+```bash
+npm install
+```
+
+3. Once installed, start the development server:
+
+```bash
+npm run start
+```
+
+This will automatically open the app in your default browser.
