# Requirements

## Project Requirement

First make sure you have installed Visual studio Code  node.js 8.X and npm 5.X version. You can check it on own terminal window simply by entering node -v and npm -v . You can also download latest nodeJs from [here](https://nodejs.org/en/).

```
$ npm -v
$ node -v
```

Make sure you have installed react-native-cli latest release. You can check React Native version in terminal with react-native -v command. If you need more info how to setup react-native project please follow [React Native Getting Started](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/tutorial.html) at [React Native](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/tutorial.html) official websites.

### React Native CLI

React Native is distributed as two npm packages, `react-native-cli` and `react-native`. The first one is a lightweight package that should be installed globally.

```
 ** $ npm install -g react-native-cli **
```

### Create Project

[Create React Native App](https://github.com/react-community/create-react-native-app) is the easiest way to start building a new React Native application. It allows you to start a project without installing or configuring any tools to build native code - no Xcode or Android Studio installation required (see [Caveats](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html#caveats)).

Assuming that you have [Node](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) installed, you can use npm to install the `create-react-native-app` command line utility:

```
** $ npm install -g create-react-native-app **
```

Then run the following commands to create a new React Native project:

```
create-react-native-app your-project-name
cd your-project-name
npm start
```

You can check React Native version:

```
** $ react-native -v **
```

Run project in Android:

```
** $ react-native run-android **
```

Run project in IOS: 

```
** $ react-native run-ios
```

React Native target IOS, Android, Window all these three platform so you need to install there respective SDK to make a build.
