11.05 React Router Vs React Router Dom

We installed both react-router  and react-router-dom . Technically, only react-router-dom  is required for web development. It wraps react-router  and therefore uses it as a dependency.

We don't need to install react-router  on our own for it to work. You can omit this installation step, I left it in there for historic reasons and because I like to emphasize that the main package is named react-router. If you ever search for assistance, you probably want to search for "react router" - that's the name of the package.
