Before you begin

Before you run this sample, install the following prerequisites locally:

Download and install Git

If you don't have an Azure subscription, you can create a trial account before you start.

Step 1: Download the sample

1. First search and open Git Bash on your computer.

2. Enter the following command to clone the Hello World sample app to the local computer.

Step 2: Create an Azure Web app

1. Sign in to the Azure portal and create a new Web app, Web + mobile.

2. Enter "app name", "app service plan/location" to select Default. If you want more information about app service plans, go to Azure app service plan in-depth overview.
