Install Expo XDE

XDE stands for Expo Development Environment. It is a standalone desktop app that includes all dependencies you’ll need to get started.

Download the latest version of Expo XDE from: https://expo.io/tools

Expo also release the new tool Expo Dev Tools (beta) which is quite better performance, https://blog.expo.io/announcing-expo-dev-tools-beta-c252cbeccb36

Mobile Client: Expo for iOS and Android

The Expo client is like a browser for apps built with Expo. When you boot up XDE on your project it generates a unique development URL for you, and you can access that from the Expo client on iOS or Android, either on a real device or in a simulator.

On your device: download for Android from the Play Storeor for iOS from the App Store

You don’t need to manually install the Expo client on your emulator/simulator, because XDE will do that automatically.

Project installing

This is other way to run the project via terminal:

// Step 1:
npm install
// or run yarn below, this is similar to Yarn but could be faster
// install Yarn from https://yarnpkg.com
// run the script after install: yarn install

// Step 2:
exp start
