How to install react native on Windows.

Requirements

1. Python2
2. JDK
3. Node.js
4. Yarn.
5. Android SDK Manager CLI
6. ADB

Steps

1. Install React-Native by running yarn global add react-native-cli.
2. Unzip Android SDK Manager and ADB put them under C:// or somewhere that you can access.
3. Modify path:
   1. Open a file explorer, right click This PC and select Properties.
   2. Then select Advance System Settings, then Enviroment Variables.
   3. Choose path, and add the bin folder from the SDK Manager, and the root directory of ADB tools.
   4. To verify what you did works, open a command line promt (I used PowerShell), and run adb and sdkmanager. So long as they output something your good, if not redo the previous steps.
4. Now run sdkmanager --licence, and accept all the licences.
5. Run react-native init <project name>.
6. Connect your android device and verify using adb devices.
7. Run react-native run-android and wait. If it works, you are now ready to develop react native applications using android.

Best of luck.
