Hi and welcome back.
In this video, we'll be taking the first
steps towards building our donation mobile application.
And we'll start by installing the initial
project and cleaning up some of the things in the main file.
And by the end of this video,
you're going to have a project set up that will be ready for our next videos so
that we can implement our own custom features.
So let's get started.
First of all, we need to open a terminal.
Let's navigate to the desktop.
That's where I want my files to be.
And I'm just going to type
npx react-native init DonationApp
I'll let this run.
It's going to take some time
for a complete download of the template and installation of pods.
So please feel free to come back to this
video once your installation has been complete.
Great.
Now that our installation is complete, we can just copy this instruction to let
it run on the iOS simulator and we can just navigate to our editor.
I use webstorm.
You can open it up in any editor that you'd like.
And I'm just going to navigate to desktop
and I'm going to select Donation App and I'm just going to open it up.
Great. Now my Metro bundler is running.
And here's our donation app appearing in our simulator.
I'm going to let the Metro bundler run so
that we can see the changes that we're about to make.
And I'm just going to go to app file
and I'm going to delete everything that we don't need.
So I'm just going to delete that comment.
I'm going to leave the safe area view only from native going to delete this.
And we don't need this component here,
neither do we need this part or these imports.
And I'm just going to rewrite how app is
made here because we're not going to be using TypeScript.
I'm going to do this instead.
We don't need these or these styles here.
And the only thing that I'm going to leave
from the components here is the safe area view.
I'm going to delete these styles as well.
I'm going to save this.
And now I see the blank screen.
So we're ready for the next videos now to start the setup of our project.
Thanks so much for watching and see you in the next video.
