Few notes

Started this on OS X, but pushed to git mostly to be able to bring over to Linux. Good to have a working version on Linux box while writing code

There are several typos in the React Native docs for getting Turbo Modules in C++ working. These docs:

This video is a helpful walkthrough for getting sample version up and running on Android and iOS. Covers the typos and what to correct:

Linux install things

Short list of some things I needed to have this also up and running for Linux.

Install react native:

npm install -g react-native-cli

Install full on Android Studio (not just the SDK):

sudo apt install default-jdk -y
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maarten-fonville/android-studio
sudo apt update
sudo apt install android-studio -y

After the above, make a fame blank app and install an emulator.

Start messing with KVM? Hmmm. What a pain ... first bios (apparently) then:

sudo apt install qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients bridge-utils
sudo adduser $USER kvm

Then check the output of:

kvm-ok

On ASUS Bios with a Ryzen CPU, the bios setting to enable Kernel Virtual Machines is "SVM" mode.

Below is original README

This is a new React Native project, bootstrapped using @react-native-community/cli.

Getting Started

Note: Make sure you have completed the Set Up Your Environment guide before proceeding.

Step 1: Start Metro

First, you will need to run Metro, the JavaScript build tool for React Native.

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

# Using npm
npm start

# OR using Yarn
yarn start

Step 2: Build and run your app

With Metro running, open a new terminal window/pane from the root of your React Native project, and use one of the following commands to build and run your Android or iOS app:

Android

# Using npm
npm run android

# OR using Yarn
yarn android

iOS

For iOS, remember to install CocoaPods dependencies (this only needs to be run on first clone or after updating native deps).

The first time you create a new project, run the Ruby bundler to install CocoaPods itself:

bundle install

Then, and every time you update your native dependencies, run:

bundle exec pod install

For more information, please visit CocoaPods Getting Started guide.

# Using npm
npm run ios

# OR using Yarn
yarn ios

If everything is set up correctly, you should see your new app running in the Android Emulator, iOS Simulator, or your connected device.

This is one way to run your app — you can also build it directly from Android Studio or Xcode.

Step 3: Modify your app

Now that you have successfully run the app, let's make changes!

Open App.tsx in your text editor of choice and make some changes. When you save, your app will automatically update and reflect these changes — this is powered by Fast Refresh.

When you want to forcefully reload, for example to reset the state of your app, you can perform a full reload:

• Android: Press the R key twice or select "Reload" from the Dev Menu, accessed via Ctrl + M (Windows/Linux) or Cmd ⌘ + M (macOS).
• iOS: Press R in iOS Simulator.

Congratulations! 🎉

You've successfully run and modified your React Native App. 🥳
