Setup

You can find the most up to date information about how to get started here.

Install Dependencies

Update Brew for OS X

Since brew will be used to install all the needed tools, you should update it to ensure that you will get the most recent versions of all the required programs:

$ brew update && brew upgrade

Install Node and NPM

$ brew install node

Alternatively you can download an installer from: nodejs.org/en/download. Recommend to have Node >=4.0 and NPM >=3.0

Install Watchman

This tool will be used by React Native to detect changes of your code and auto reload your application. Install watchman via brew, and not npm.

$ brew install watchman

Install the React Native CLI

$ npm install -g react-native-cli

Setup Native SDKs

• For iOS install Xcode from the OS X App Store.

• For Android follow these instructions here.
