If you accidentally closed VS Code or your local server tab, you can manually go to the folder, then right click and choose open in terminal, "open your project folder in terminal". Run npm start.
It will start development server with hot reloading at http://localhost:3000/

The first thing you need is to install updated version of nodejs, you can type to google “download nodejs” and make sure you download the stable version. You need to open a terminal, also make sure you can locate your file path then type: cd your file path: your-appName (this should be the name of your app)

Open a terminal on vscode, then make sure you already node installed. Type npm install after that npm run start or whatever command to run, you can see on package.json.
