I have been doing React development for 4 years now and I have never set it up from scratch and only have a rough idea how it’s done. I still apply for react jobs and do fine. Installing something from scratch is one of the least important tests because it’s something that companies typically do once every few years, they can afford to flounder for a few days on that.
