Set up a repository

Set up a new repository.

Global Installs ( Skip if already done before )

Clone Project Repo

Clone the created repo to your projects directory

$ cd ~/projects/
$ git clone [email protected]:midwesterninteractive/project-name.git

Note Do not cd in to the project-name directory.

Install App

Make sure at the end of the command the project-name matches the newly cloned repository directory name.

$ create-react-native-app project-name

Install MWI-App

Now you will enter the project directory and install the mwi-app files and packages for the project.

$ cd project-name
$ npm i mwi-app
$ npm install

Launch The App

Start the packager server and launch the app.

$ expo start
