Since we noticed some issues with the usage of windows which can be happened, here a small setup guide
If react native is already running on your machine you can skip this part.
This guide will help you setup a fresh development environment if you have no development tools on your machine. We recommend Chocolatey as package manager for the tool installation, but is not required. This is usually a one-click solution and very easy to use. If you don't use choco you need to install the listed tools manually.
First install Chocolatey as documented here.
You will need the following tools:
choco install nodejs-lts
choco install yarn
choco install openjdk
# if you have a ultimate licence for intellij
choco install intellijidea-ultimate
# if you don't have the ultimate licence
choco install intellijidea-communityReboot after the installation.
Have a look at our trouble shooting guide as well for information on how to fix some common windows issues.
