Setting Up NativeExpress

This guide will walk you through the process of setting up NativeExpress. We'll cover cloning the project, installing dependencies, configuring your environment, and running the local development server.

Introduction

Setting up NativeExpress involves two main phases:

1. Tooling & General Setup: This phase covers the installation and configuration of essential tools and environments needed for React Native and Expo development. If you already have everything set up needed for React Native development, you can skip this phase.

2. Project-Specific Setup: This phase focuses on the NativeExpress project itself. It includes cloning the repository, installing project dependencies, configuring environment variables, and getting the application running on your local machine.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your system:

• Node.js (opens in a new tab) (v20)
• yarn (opens in a new tab)
• Git (opens in a new tab)
• homebrew (opens in a new tab)
