   npm -v

Install React Native CLI & Setup a New Project

1. Create a New React Native Project (Without Expo)

   • Run the command :

     npx react-native init MyProject

   • This ensures you always use the latest React Native CLI.

2. Navigate to the Project Directory

   • Change into the newly created project folder :

     cd MyProject

• Running the React Native App

  • For Android Run :

    npx react-native run-android

  • To run the app on Android in debug mode:

  cd android
  ./gradlew assembleRelease

  • Important Notes

    • React Native CLI is built into npx, so you don’t need to install it globally.

    • EnsureJava JDK & Android SDK are installed for Android development.
