Getting Started

Note: Make sure you have completed the React Native - Environment Setup instructions till "Creating a new application" step, before proceeding.

Step 1: Start the Metro Server

First, you will need to start Metro, the JavaScript bundler that ships with React Native.

To start Metro, run the following command from the root of your React Native project:

# using npm
npm start

# OR using Yarn
yarn start

Step 2: Start your Application

Let Metro Bundler run in its own terminal. Open a new terminal from the root of your React Native project. Run the following command to start your Android or iOS app:

For Android

# using npm
npm run android

# OR using Yarn
yarn android

If everything is set up correctly, you should see your new app running in your Android Emulator shortly provided you have set up your emulator/simulator correctly.

Backend SetUp

There are two package.json files. Run the following command to install all dependencies.

# server side 
cd api
npm install

# client side
cd..
npm install

If everything goes correct you should be able to see node module files in root directory as well as api directory.
