Getting Started with React Native CLI

let's jump into it!!

a) VS Code.

b) JAVA (OpenJDK).

c) Android Studio.

You must be wondering why we need the android studio when we can write our code in VScode. But we need it !, Because some tools are provided by android studio which supports our app running in android stimulator or in our actual android device.

They are called Platform Tools.

let's get back to installing vs code.

• get it from here: https://code.visualstudio.com/

• Download Java and Node.js choco install -y nodejs-lts microsoft-openjdk11 run this command in your cmd.

  don't forget to set your classpath in Environmental variables after downloading java.

  • 

    just copy the path where your java got installed and place it in the classpath.

• Once you finish the installation of java, try this command to verify: java --version

to see your version of java.

• Android studio: https://developer.android.com/studio?gclsrc=ds&gclsrc=ds

• Once you downloaded the android studio you need to also download platform tools.

• Open Android Studio navigate to "Tools" on the Top from there to SDK Manager that's gonna land you up on this page

• 

  Download Android SDK Platform-Tools.

• To verify that you are good to go with android studio tools and all, run this command in your cmd prompt adb --version to see something like this in below.

• 

  If yes then you are all set up for the journey of developing react native apps, my friend.

  Let's go !!
