Introduction to Minto - ReactJS NFT Marketplace UI Kit

Minto is a comprehensive ReactJS UI kit designed specifically for building an NFT (Non-Fungible Token) marketplace. With Minto, you can quickly and easily create a professional-looking NFT marketplace without having to spend hours building from scratch. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps of using Minto to create a fully functional NFT marketplace.

Getting Started with Minto

Before we dive into the tutorial, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

1. Node.js: Minto requires Node.js version 14 or higher to run. You can download and install the latest version from the official Node.js website.
2. npm: npm (Node Package Manager) is bundled with Node.js. Make sure you have the latest version of npm installed.
3. ReactJS: Minto is built on top of ReactJS, so you'll need to have a basic understanding of ReactJS concepts.
4. Familiarity with NFTs: Although Minto provides a UI kit for building an NFT marketplace, you should have a basic understanding of what NFTs are and how they work.

Setting up Minto

To get started with Minto, follow these steps:

1. Install Minto: Run the following command in your terminal:

   npm install @mintoui/minto

2. Create a new React app: Run the following command to create a new React app:

   npx create-react-app my-nft-marketplace

   Replace my-nft-marketplace with the desired name for your app.

3. Install dependencies: Run the following command to install the required dependencies for Minto:

4. Copy Minto files: Copy the Minto files from the @mintoui/minto package into your React app directory:
