FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

Currently Babel 6 require its polyfill to transpile async/await. Must be explicitly installed and required in order to get async/await working.

package.json

"devDependencies": {
    "babel-core": "^6.0.20",
    "babel-polyfill": "^6.0.16",
 "babel-preset-es2015": "^6.0.15",

Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan

Custom recipe to get OS X 10.11 El Capitan running from scratch, setup applications and developer environment. This is very similar (and currently mostly the same) as my 10.10 Yosemite setup recipe (as found on this gist https://gist.github.com/kevinelliott/0726211d17020a6abc1f). Note that I expect this to change significantly as I install El Capitan several times.

I use this gist to keep track of the important software and steps required to have a functioning system after a semi-annual fresh install. On average, I reinstall each computer from scratch every 6 months, and I do not perform upgrades between distros.

This keeps the system performing at top speeds, clean of trojans, spyware, and ensures that I maintain good organizational practices for my content and backups. I highly recommend this.

You are encouraged to fork this and modify it to your heart's content to match your own needs.

First of all, this is not my brilliant effort to get react-native working on Windows, it is the collation of work by others, particularly @mqli and @Bernd Wessels. I've just summarised what worked for me.

If you would prefer to read what I've plagerised, head over to mqli's great gist

Disclaimer

The below is tested with react-native-cli 0.1.5, react-native 0.12.0 on Windows 10, node 4.1.1, and Android (physical Nexus 6 and AVD with API v22)
I hope this will all be redundant in a few weeks. Please comment on stuff that is now fixed and I will update this to keep it relevant.
Sprinkle a bit of YMMV around

Keep this github issue handy, it’s the bucket for all Windows/Linux related tricks to get RN working.

Installing SSHPASS

SSHPass is a tiny utility, which allows you to provide the ssh password without using the prompt. This will very helpful for scripting. SSHPass is not good to use in multi-user environment. If you use SSHPass on your development machine, it don't do anything evil.

Installing on Ubuntu

apt-get install sshpass

	#!/bin/sh

	# homebrew-cask
	brew tap phinze/homebrew-cask
	brew install brew-cask

	# browser
