# Specify Port Of CRA's Webpack Dev Server [`create-react-app`](https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app) gives you a set of scripts, one of which allows you to start a development server that bundles and serves your javascript. This is handled under the hood via `webpack-dev-server`. By default it attempts to serve from port `3000`. If port `3000` is taken it will attempt to connect to another sequential port. Alternatively, you can just specify the port when starting the development server. This can be done with the `PORT` env var. ```bash $ PORT=3333 yarn start ```
