Prerequisites

To work with Credo we need to install some dependencies and set-up our Node.js environment. Even when creating a mobile app in React Native, we need Node.js installed. We will go over the specific installation process for each platform. Go ahead and pick your system of choice to get started!

The specific items that we set-up:

Node.js

NodeJS is the most popular JavaScript runtime environment excluding browsers. It can run on your desktop or even a server.

You can download it from the Node.js Website

NPM

The Node Package Manager comes pre-bundled with the NodeJS installation from above.

Yarn

Only required when not using npm

For every platform, the installation of yarn is the same.

npm install --global yarn

Project Setup

Finally, you need to make sure you have a project set-up using Node.js or React Native. If you're not familiar with setting up a project, we suggest following the Introduction to Node.js or React Native Quickstart guides.
