Summary:Remove Trailing Spaces. Why: Sometimes there are conflicts with trailing spaces Saves space Those whose tools automatically delete them will have their pr watered down with trailing space removal Closes https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/6787 Differential Revision: D3144704 fb-gh-sync-id: d8a62f115a3f8a8a49d5b07f56c540a02af38cf8 fbshipit-source-id: d8a62f115a3f8a8a49d5b07f56c540a02af38cf8

This guide is essentially a beginner-friendly version of the [Getting Started](/react-native/docs/getting-started.html) page for React Native on Linux.
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
For the purposes of this guide, we assume that you're working on Ubuntu Linux 14.04 LTS.
|
|
|
|
Before following this guide, you should have installed the Android SDK and run a successful Java-based "Hello World" app for Android.
|
|
|
|
See [Android Setup](/react-native/docs/android-setup.html) for details.
|
|
|
|
#### Installing NodeJS
|
|
|
|
The first thing you need to do is to install NodeJS, a popular Javascript implementation.
|
|
|
|
Fire up the Terminal and paste the following commands to install NodeJS from the [NodeSource](https://nodesource.com/) repository:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential
|
|
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | sudo -E bash -
|
|
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
|
|
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
|
|
```
|
|
__NOTE__: The above instructions are for Ubuntu. If you're on a different distro, please follow the instructions on the [NodeJS website](https://nodejs.org/en/download/).
|
|
|
|
#### Installing Watchman
|
|
|
|
[watchman](https://facebook.github.io/watchman/docs/install.html) is a tool by Facebook for watching changes in the filesystem. You need to install it for better performance and avoid a node file-watching bug.
|
|
|
|
Paste the following into your terminal to compile watchman from source and install it:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://github.com/facebook/watchman.git
|
|
cd watchman
|
|
git checkout v4.5.0 # the latest stable release
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Installing Flow
|
|
|
|
Flow is a static type checker for JavaScript. To install it, paste the following in the terminal:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo npm install -g flow-bin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Setting up an Android Device
|
|
|
|
Let's set up an Android device to run our starter project.
|
|
|
|
First thing is to plug in your device and check the manufacturer code by using `lsusb`, which should output something like this:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ lsusb
|
|
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
|
|
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
|
|
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 22b8:2e76 Motorola PCS
|
|
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
|
|
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
|
|
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
|
|
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
|
|
```
|
|
These lines represent the USB devices currently connected to your machine.
|
|
|
|
You want the line that represents your phone. If you're in doubt, try unplugging your phone and running the command again:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ lsusb
|
|
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
|
|
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
|
|
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
|
|
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
|
|
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
|
|
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
|
|
```
|
|
You'll see that after removing the phone, the line which has the phone model ("Motorola PCS" in this case) disappeared from the list. This is the line that we care about.
|
|
|
|
`Bus 001 Device 003: ID 22b8:2e76 Motorola PCS`
|
|
|
|
From the above line, you want to grab the first four digits from the device ID:
|
|
|
|
`22b8:2e76`
|
|
|
|
In this case, it's `22b8`. That's the identifier for Motorola.
|
|
|
|
You'll need to input this into your udev rules in order to get up and running:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
echo SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="22b8", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev" | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android-usb.rules
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Make sure that you replace `22b8` with the identifier you get in the above command.
|
|
|
|
Now check that your device is properly connecting to ADB, the Android Debug Bridge, by using `adb devices`.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
List of devices attached
|
|
TA9300GLMK device
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For more information, please see the docs for [running an Android app on your device](/react-native/docs/running-on-device-android.html).
|
|
|
|
## Next Steps
|
|
|
|
Your Android device and your tools are all ready to go. You can now follow the instructions in the [Quick Start](http://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html#quick-start) guide to install React Native and start your first project.
