Why am I getting "Uncaught ReferenceError: React not defined"

I am getting Uncaught ReferenceError: React not defined, this is when I try to use the Chrome browser console to create var boldElement = React.createElement('b');. Why might this be happening?

The most basic reason that this might be happening could be how the file structure is created inside of your html. Check your syntax. It could be an issue where;

<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>Basic Example</title>
  <script src="/vendor/react.js"></script>
  <script src="/vendor/react-dom.js"></script>
</head>

However you need to place a period "." before your file path;

<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>Basic Example</title>
  <script src="./vendor/react.js"></script>
  <script src="./vendor/react-dom.js"></script>
</head>
