Before starting please make sure that you have successfully installed the below dependencies on your development environment.
- The latest LTS version of Node.js - Node.JS is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine.
- React Native. Check the instructions [here]((https://reactnative.dev/docs/set-up-your-environment) for across various OS and pick the installation setup based on the OS you use for local development.
Feel free to use any IDE you like. However, VS Code is the recommended IDE since it is light-weight, has a ton of extensions/plugins, and it is an industry standard.
