Running react application in AWS EC2 server

Question

I created react app using create-react-app. I have deployed to aws.

How can I run it in production without using server like apache or nginx ?

Thank You.

I have node js. How can I give project path, for the ip address or domain name? — Sunil tc

You should use AWS tag to reach required community. We use nginx proxy. — elmeister

You should install nginx on your EC2 instance.

Then, run npm run build. It will generate a build folder, that then should be used as nginx vhost webroot.

npm run build

Builds the app for production to the build folder. It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes. Your app is ready to be deployed!

Simple as that.

Or,

For environments using Node, the easiest way to handle this would be to install serve and let it handle the rest:

npm install -g serve serve -s build

I did this : npm install -g serve serve -s build . But it is running running server locally on AWS EC2, where as we want it to be global. Is there anything else which I have to do.
