## Requirements
|
|
|
|
1. OS X - This guide assumes OS X which is needed for iOS development.
|
|
2. [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/) is the recommended way to install Watchman and Flow.
|
|
3. Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) 4.0 or newer.
|
|
- Install **nvm** with [its setup instructions here](https://github.com/creationix/nvm#installation). Then run `nvm install node && nvm alias default node`, which installs the latest version of Node.js and sets up your terminal so you can run it by typing `node`. With nvm you can install multiple versions of Node.js and easily switch between them.
|
|
- New to [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/)?
|
|
4. `brew install watchman`. We recommend installing [watchman](https://facebook.github.io/watchman/docs/install.html), otherwise you might hit a node file watching bug.
|
|
5. `brew install flow`, if you want to use [flow](http://www.flowtype.org).
|
|
|
|
We recommend periodically running `brew update && brew upgrade` to keep your programs up-to-date.
|
|
|
|
## iOS Setup
|
|
|
|
[Xcode](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/downloads/) 7.0 or higher is required. It can be installed from the App Store.
|
|
|
|
## Android Setup
|
|
|
|
To write React Native apps for Android, you will need to install the Android SDK (and an Android emulator if you want to work on your app without having to use a physical device). See [Android setup guide](docs/android-setup.html) for instructions on how to set up your Android environment.
|
|
|
|
_NOTE:_ There is experimental [Windows and Linux support](docs/linux-windows-support.html) for Android development.
|
|
|
|
## Quick start
|
|
|
|
Install the React Native command line tools:
|
|
|
|
$ npm install -g react-native-cli
|
|
|
|
__NOTE__: If you see the error, `EACCES: permission denied`, please run the command: `sudo npm install -g react-native-cli`.
|
|
|
|
Create a React Native project:
|
|
|
|
$ react-native init AwesomeProject
|
|
|
|
|
|
**To run the iOS app:**
|
|
|
|
- `$ cd AwesomeProject`
|
|
- Open `ios/AwesomeProject.xcodeproj` and hit run in Xcode.
|
|
- Open `index.ios.js` in your text editor of choice and edit some lines.
|
|
- Hit ⌘-R in your iOS simulator to reload the app and see your change!
|
|
|
|
_Note: If you are using an iOS device, see the [Running on iOS Device page](docs/running-on-device-ios.html#content)._
|
|
|
|
**To run the Android app:**
|
|
|
|
- `$ cd AwesomeProject`
|
|
- `$ react-native run-android`
|
|
- Open `index.android.js` in your text editor of choice and edit some lines.
|
|
- Press the menu button (F2 by default, or ⌘-M in Genymotion) and select *Reload JS* to see your change!
|
|
- Run `adb logcat *:S ReactNative:V ReactNativeJS:V` in a terminal to see your app's logs
|
|
|
|
_Note: If you are using an Android device, see the [Running on Android Device page](docs/running-on-device-android.html#content)._
|
|
|
|
Congratulations! You've successfully run and modified your first React Native app.
|
|
|
|
_If you run into any issues getting started, see the [troubleshooting page](docs/troubleshooting.html#content)._
|
|
|
|
## Adding Android to an existing React Native project
|
|
|
|
If you already have a (iOS-only) React Native project and want to add Android support, you need to execute the following commands in your existing project directory:
|
|
|
|
1. Update the `react-native` dependency in your `package.json` file to [the latest version](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native)
|
|
2. `$ npm install`
|
|
3. `$ react-native android`
|
