In your app's root directory, use npm to install Glimpse.
npm install @glimpse/glimpse --save-dev
Initialize Glimpse before any other require()

if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
require('@glimpse/glimpse').init();
}
Open your app in a browser. The Glimpse HUD should now be at the bottom right of your app.
