Setup instructions

You will find the instructions to set up your computer for your next React Native Bootcamp.

💡 I do provide advice for Linux and macOS. 💡 Being an administrator on windows is mandatory, I am not responsible if you encounter issues. (You can follow this setup tutorial from InfiniteRed to make everything work).

System Requirements

Use the following command from your terminal to check your Node version.

If you have a recent version installed, it should do.
