Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

  • Node.js (v16 or higher)
  • npm or Yarn
  • React Native CLI
  • Xcode (for iOS development)
  • Android Studio (for Android development)

Installation

Follow these steps to set up the Baby Development UI Kit on your local machine:

1. Obtain the Project​

Unzip the project to your local machine and navigate into the folder:

cd baby-development-ui-kit

2. Install Dependencies​

Install the required dependencies using npm or yarn:

npm ci
# or if you prefer yarn:
# yarn install

3. Ensure React Native Environment is Set Up​

Make sure your React Native development environment is configured. Refer to the official React Native Environment Setup Guide for detailed instructions.

4. Run the App​

  • For iOS:
npx react-native run-ios
  • For Android:
npx react-native run-android

Since the project uses Expo, start the development server with:

npx expo start

This opens the Expo DevTools in your browser, from where you can run on simulators or real devices.

Note: The global Expo CLI install is deprecated. Always use npx expo to run Expo commands.
