React Native – Setup

There are a couple of things you need to install to set up the environment for React Native.We will use OSX as our building platform.

Install NodeJS and NPM  on UNIX/Linux/Mac OS X, and SunOS :

$ cd /tmp
$ wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v6.3.1/node-v6.3.1-linux-x64.tar.gz
$ tar xvfz node-v6.3.1-linux-x64.tar.gz
$ mkdir -p /usr/local/nodejs
$ mv node-v6.3.1-linux-x64/* /usr/local/nodejs


Add /usr/local/nodejs/bin to the PATH environment variable.


Linux : export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/nodejs/bin

Mac   : export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/nodejs/bin


Step 1 – Install Homebrew
Open your terminal and run the following code to install Homebrew −

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL
