- react native
- expo CLI
- android emulation (I used android studio)
- follow setup instructions for expo https://docs.expo.dev/workflow/expo-cli/
- follow install directions for android studio https://docs.expo.dev/workflow/android-studio-emulator/
- open android emulator (looks like a fancy phone)
- create a new terminal instance in the project directory
- run this command
npm run android
if setup correctly your app should be running on your android emulator
