Setting up React Native on Windows

Hi all,

So I've finished the first section of the React Native course and I'm still non the wiser as to how to get React Native up and running.

I have Android Studio on my computer and I've successfully installed Chocalatey, Python, Node and the right version of Java to the computer.

But I can see that it is a long and complicated process. Running the command react-native init newProject hasn't worked and while it creates the project folder and a wealth of node_modules I don't think it's worked properly. I certainly don't know what the errors mean in my Admin command prompt.

So after installing react Native globally and initialising a project, what's next? Would appreciate thoughts people might have :)

Hi Darren,

Most of them were deprecation errors. Things that stopped some modules from being loaded to my RN project. I tested one on my Windows PC that loaded no modules (though there was a node_modules folder., and another attempt that loaded several modules but nothing else.

When I tested the installation on my Windows Laptop (higher spec) it seemed to load React Native properly, though I haven't tested it fully on the course yet. I'm about to do that right now. :)
