How to Make reactJS to run on IIS

Question

I am working on a application where I will create Web API in .net and client application using ReactJS. WebAPI and client application both needs to be hosted on IIS. I am trying to host Reactjs examples on IIS but not successful.

I do not want to use reactJS.net as I will have to create a mvc application then.

Has anybody tried hosting on IIS 8.0. is there anything specific we need to do?

You have to do 3 simple steps:

1. Take React js start kit
2. npm run build - it will generate the build
3. Open IIS create website and give path to you build folder
4. Then run it
