Procedure

Set up React Native with Expo (recommended) or bare CLI path

Install Node.js LTS, use create-expo-app for the recommended Expo Framework path (Expo CLI via npx), and note the optional bare React Native environment-setup path.

  1. Step 1

    Install Node.js LTS from https://nodejs.org/ (or your usual version manager). Confirm with node -v and npm -v. Expo supports macOS, Windows (PowerShell/WSL2), and Linux.

  2. Step 2

    Preferred (React Native docs recommend a Framework): create an Expo app per https://docs.expo.dev/get-started/create-a-project/ — e.g. npx create-expo-app@latest --template default@sdk-57 (or yarn/pnpm/bun create equivalents). Expo CLI ships with the expo package; use npx expo start in the project — do not install a global expo-cli.

  3. Step 3

    Optional bare path (no Framework): follow https://reactnative.dev/docs/set-up-your-environment and the without-a-framework get-started guide (Android Studio / Xcode). Most new apps should stay on Expo.

  4. Step 4

    npx --yes create-expo-app@latest --help
