Now open your repository that you just cloned down by typing code . to open in visual studio code. Here lets take a look at the package.json file. In this file is all the dependencies that will be needed to run the application along with developer dependencies such as our Cypress engine. If we take a look at the scripts object we can see commands that we can use to get started. However these commands run through our project dependencies that need to be downloaded and installed. We will do this by opening up a terminal inside visual studio code (the IDE) through ‘Terminal-> New Terminal’ and typing yarn

Now the dependencies (including cypress) are installed we can run npx cypress open which will open up the Cypress UI. Now let’s test we have managed to integrate. We will do this by opening another terminal inside of visual studio code to run the application with yarn start. Once the application is running you should see this message ‘Compiled successfully’ in the terminal.
