Start with a single template to minimize setup and get results fast; open a hello-rust project, then verify it runs by fetching a tiny asset with curl.
Install the runtime and an editor, then pick a target platform and set the initial versions to avoid compatibility issues. after setup, you have a stable starting point, and you can add more tools as you grow.
Follow a lean flow: after you install Rust, create a new project with cargo new hello, add a tiny main that prints a line, and run cargo run. If you pull dependencies, pin them to a small versions set from libraries to keep builds predictable; then add more functionality as you go.
For networking, use curl with the –tlsv12 flag to ensure secure sessions. Then extend your pattern by adding one module at a time; the template approach and linked tutorials help you keep consistency as you extends your project.
Record outcomes for each case and share it with teammates; this gives you data to compare versions and decide which libraries to lock in. When you encounter a tricky scenario, consult the tutorials and try a lightweight template that you can reuse 다음. If you need a light moment, ferris_sayssay can help break the monotony.
Check Node.js, npm, and Expo CLI versions on your machine
Run node -v, npm -v, and expo –version in your terminal to confirm your baseline. For example, you might see Node v18.16.0, npm 9.6.0, and Expo CLI 6.3.0. If any are missing or outdated, update them to fit your project’s needs.
nodejs is the runtime you rely on; if outputs differ from your group’s requirements, install or switch versions using a manager like nvm. If you are comfortable, document the results for your documentation so the group stays aligned.
To install Expo CLI globally, run npm install -g expo-cli. You can also use yarn global add expo-cli. The expo binary should be reachable from the terminal as expo. If you want to verify again, run expo –version or npx expo –version.
That quick check helps you avoid issues when building sample apps such as hello-rust. The same commands apply across shells, ensuring consistency for interested teammates.
Use Flags like –version with commands to ensure you’re getting the version, not another message. If you need to inspect the node path, run which node (or where node on Windows) to verify the configured PATH.
| Command | What it checks | Example output |
|---|---|---|
| node -v | Node.js version | v18.16.0 |
| npm -v | npm version | 9.6.0 |
| expo –version | Expo CLI version | 6.3.0 |
| npx expo –version | Local CLI check | 6.3.0 |
| which node / where node | Node binary path | /usr/local/bin/node |
| node -p “process.versions” | Node.js build info | { node: ‘18.16.0’, v8: ‘11.2.302.93’, … } |
If you need to update, download the LTS from nodejs.org or use a package manager. After upgrading, delete old global expo-cli if needed to avoid conflicts. Then run the verification steps again to confirm the new versions are in effect.
For project content like indexhtml files, appprops, and server setups, keep a simple sample in a comfortable directory. Place some line of content into indexhtml to preview web output, then serve the files with a small server to verify delivery. Use sample files in a dedicated server folder, ensure the commands reflect the same results, and move any outdated files to a backup location if necessary.
Create a new Expo managed project with expo init and select a template

Install the Expo CLI and run expo init your-app. When prompted, select the Blank (Managed) template to stay comfortable and focus on the basics; this basic setup includes App.tsx and the necessary config to start quickly, so you’re able to begin right away.
After creation, cd your-app and start the dev server with expo start. Test on a device with the Expo Go app, or press w to open the web preview. This workflow keeps editing fast and lets you learn front-end patterns with immediate feedback. You’ll be able to see changes immediately on your device or in the browser. If you add libraries later, installing them uses expo install to pull the necessary native modules. There is also the option to explore web tooling like vites, but the primary Expo workflow remains focused on the managed project.
Explore the project tree: you will see assets and logos you can replace; create new elements in components; keep your place tidy. Edit App.tsx in your editor to render a simple hello-rust banner or a small case study; even if your background is in other languages, this React Native setup remains approachable. For Android, the entry maps to mainactivity, but you won’t touch it for a basic app; you focus on your JS/TS code. If you switch to web templates, you may encounter indexhtml as the entry reference. Some teams experiment with vites for web builds, but Expo’s tooling handles the workflow here. Your learned patterns grow as you iterate and reflect on what works for your app.
Choosing a template
There are templates to fit different cases: Blank for a fast start, Tabs for navigation, and more. Blank suits most newbies; if you need navigation, choose Tabs or the Tabs (TypeScript) variant. The template choice shapes the initial structure: assets, logos, and a few components, all arranged in a tidy front-end friendly folder. Consider your case and pick the one that matches your plan; you can install additional packages later to extend functionality. If you want to skip extra steps, start with Blank and expand later.
From init to first screen

Open App.tsx in your editor and replace the default content with your own layout. Build a small screen using React Native elements such as View, Text, and Button, and wire up a simple interaction. Place images from the assets folder and reference them in code. Save and let expo start reload changes; soon you will see your UI render with comfortable speed. If you want more ideas, check a blog and scrape snippets from their experiments. You can install libraries like react-navigation later when you need proper navigation.
Install Expo-compatible libraries with expo install to match the SDK
Use expo install to lock each library to a version that matches your Expo SDK. Before you install, confirm your sdkVersion in app.json or app.config.js. Then run expo install
Within a template project, document the library choices and their linking conventions so new teammates follow the same path. Keep a codelab-monitor template in your Projects folder to track versions and prompting updates, and use external_labels in app.json to label groups for the manager during reviews. If a library is called differently in its repo than in Expo docs, verify the exact package name before installing to avoid common errors.
Common pitfalls
Dont mix npm install and expo install for Expo-managed projects; expo install ensures the library version matches the current SDK. If you see error messages like Cannot find module or Unable to resolve, re-run expo install with the exact package name shown in the error, and then run expo doctor to verify the environment. After installation, run npx pod-install on macOS to update iOS native pods and ensure the linking step completes before you run the app.
Be mindful that libraries can behave differently on web and native platforms. Limit your initial set to libraries that Expo explicitly supports, and verify each addition against the project’s conventions. When prompting updates, test in a separate branch to avoid disrupting ongoing work.
Verification and quick checks
After install, check package.json to confirm the dependency version matches the SDK’s recommended range. Run expo start to launch the dev server and load the app on a device or simulator. If you see runtime errors, review the console for linking notes and verify that the library is listed in the project’s dependencies. For SVG assets, confirm vitesvg renders correctly on the web; test on different devices to ensure consistent behavior within the same code path.
Choose package manager (npm or yarn) and align lockfiles for reproducible installs
Recommendation: Use npm with a locked package-lock.json and run npm ci to reproduce installs exactly as recorded. If you prefer Yarn, switch to yarn install –immutable (또는 yarn install –frozen-lockfile in older Yarn) to keep yarn.lock aligned and avoid drift in runtime. Ensure every environment uses the same core tooling version for predictable results.
Lockfile alignment steps: After editing dependencies, run the appropriate install command to refresh the lockfile, then commit it so each instance in your team refers to the same dependency graph. If you work with Prometheus, keep a minimal prometheusrulesyml alongside your manifests and monitor for drift with warnings. This approach helps developers stay aligned; they rely on a single lockfile for every build.
For npm users: Ensure package.json uses a coherent exports map if you publish a module, then run npm ci to install exactly what’s locked. If the lockfile changes, run npm install to refresh and then commit, so every developer refers to a single source of truth. This keeps the dependency graph stable across workloads and reduces startup warnings at runtime.
For Yarn users: Use yarn install –immutable to keep yarn.lock matched with package.json; if you need updates, run yarn install locally, then commit the new lockfile. Treat the dependency graph as a single source of truth across environments to maintain a stable runtime and smooth rendering.
Cross-environment tips: Align Node.js versions (via .nvmrc or .tool-versions) so the runtime stays alike across machines, like those used in CI and local workstations. Use a consistent job_name in CI to rate build health, verify that http endpoints are rendering correctly, and ensure the process prints useful warnings rather than silent failures. For local testing, start the dev server with –weblisten-address=127.0.0.1 to guarantee the host rendering and API calls work in isolation. A little setup here yields stable working results for those teams sharing a workstation instance.
Additional notes: When you run scripts, pass the right argument to specify environment mode; for example, run in production 또는 development. Keep the words in your docs consistent and refer to instructions for new developers, so onboarding is smooth. The exports field, the dependency graph, and the metrics you collect with prometheus help you see rate changes and stay in control. Remember to refer back to the docs whenever you upgrade tools.
Checklist to refer: Enough alignment with one manager; keep a small set of instructions for new developers, and refer to the shared lockfile as the single source of truth. Monitor with prometheus and ensure the prometheusrulesyml continues to trigger only real issues. Use exports to control package boundaries and verify http endpoints in rendering. If you need more context, refer to the official docs and keep this guide as a living reference for every instance of the project.
Add and pin dependencies with exact versions in package.json
Pin dependencies to exact versions to prevent drift across environments, particularly for javascript applications with rendering pipelines. Run npm install react@18.2.0 –save-exact and commit package.json and package-lock.json to keep the endpoint stable.
Enable exact saves by default to avoid accidental loosening: npm config set save-exact true or add save-exact=true to .npmrc. This helps importing these libraries across teams where tests, CI, and local development must match.
- Determine exact versions that passed tests: for each package, check the version that passed your test suite; in a case where a dependency changes behavior, pick the version that was verified to work with your rendering stack. When you pull a new release, test quickly and, if it fails, revert to the previously passed version to keep signals stable in the endpoint it serves. navigate down the dependency tree to confirm compatibility, and ensure these choices align with your mainactivity and writing workflows.
- Install with exact version: npm install react@18.2.0 –save-exact; npm install vite@4.0.0 –save-exact; repeat for each direct dependency you need. This writes exact versions to package.json, avoiding ^ or ~. If you maintain scripts, you can run these commands in a loop; these commands ensure the version you see is the one used by the project.
- Verify package.json and avoid curly quotes: open package.json and confirm every version string appears as “name”: “x.y.z” without a caret or tilde. Ensure quotes are straight, not curly, to prevent parsing issues in tooling. This check matters in teams where multiple editors handle the file, these small details prevent surprises during installs.
- Lockfile and CI consistency: package-lock.json captures the exact tree; run npm ci in local and CI to reproduce the same versions. This approach keeps each build aligned with the confirmed set, even if npm fetches a newer release under different rules in other commands. In projects using vites configurations, apply the same pinning discipline to the devDependencies as well.
- 선택 사항인 전역 설정 및 워크플로 정리: 이후 모든 저장 시 정확한 버전을 사용하려면 npm config set save-exact true를 설정하거나 전역 .npmrc를 추가하세요. 이렇게 하면 새 패키지를 추가할 때 드리프트가 줄어들어 여러 개발자가 병렬로 설치를 실행하는 팀에 도움이 됩니다. 이러한 설정을 기여 지침에 문서화하여 개발자가 동일한 기대치를 기록하도록 할 수 있습니다.
참고 사항 및 실제 점검
- 변경 사항을 변경 로그에 기록하고 prometheusrulesyml에서 정확한 버전을 참조하여 모니터링 대시보드가 변경 사항을 반영하도록 하세요. 이러한 기록은 종속성 업데이트가 프로덕션 엔드포인트에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 시점을 파악하는 데 도움이 됩니다.
- reactlogo 및 관련 UI 에셋을 주시하여 고정된 버전이 렌더링 불일치를 일으키지 않도록 하십시오. 특정 렌더링 경로에 의존하는 애플리케이션으로 작업하는 경우 이러한 에셋이 계속 호환되는지 확인하십시오.
- setcountcount 또는 ferris_sayssay와 같은 보조 스크립트를 유지 관리하는 경우, package.json에서 고정된 버전을 읽고 설치 중에 기록된 정확한 숫자를 기록하도록 정렬하십시오. 이렇게 하면 감사가 더 쉬워지고 배포된 항목을 추적하는 데 도움이 됩니다.
- 임계값 신호가 필요한 구성의 경우, 종속성을 올릴 때 관련 파일을 업데이트하고 이러한 신호가 도구에서 어떻게 사용되는지 검토하십시오. 이러한 관리를 통해 배포 중 예기치 않은 상황을 최소화하고 파이프라인을 안정적으로 유지할 수 있습니다.
- 전이적 버전을 재정의해야 하는 경우, lockfile을 단일 출처로 사용하십시오. 필요한 경우 멀티 프로젝트 설정 및 장기 배포를 위해 npm shrinkwrap을 추가적으로 사용하는 것을 고려하십시오.
장치 또는 에뮬레이터에서 프로젝트를 실행하고 일반적인 설치 문제를 해결하세요.
장치를 연결하거나 에뮬레이터를 시작한 다음, 종속성을 설치하고 플랫폼에 맞는 올바른 명령으로 프로젝트를 실행합니다. adb devices(Android)로 장치가 나타나는지 확인하거나 에뮬레이터가 나열되어 있는지(iOS) 확인한 다음, npm install 및 플랫폼 명령(npx react-native run-android 또는 npx react-native run-ios)을 실행합니다. 차단 문제가 발생하면 아래 로그에서 실패한 정확한 단계를 확인해야 합니다.
장치 준비 상태 확인
장치가 잠금 해제되어 있고 USB 디버깅이 허용되었으며 컴퓨터가 인증되었는지 확인하십시오. 장치가 장치 목록에 나타나지 않으면 USB를 다시 연결하고, 케이블 또는 포트를 전환하고, ADB 서버를 다시 시작하십시오. 설치 및 최초 실행으로 진행하기 전에 에뮬레이터가 실행 중이고 연결 가능한지 확인하십시오. 시작 출력을 모니터링하여 초기 중단을 포착하십시오.
문제 해결 체크리스트 및 진단
실패 단계를 찾기 위해 설치 출력물을 설명서와 대조하여 검토하십시오. 엔드포인트 또는 호스트 구성 불일치를 찾고, 개발 서버가 실행 중인 앱에 번들을 제공하도록 구성을 업데이트하십시오. 네트워크 연결, 프록시 설정 및 실행에 영향을 미치는 모든 환경 내보내기를 확인하십시오. 앱이 빌드되지만 멈추면 시작 코드에서 객체 모양과 조각을 검사하고 가져오는 동안 루트 구성 요소에 올바른 props가 전달되었는지 확인하십시오. 모듈 가져오기에 대한 오류가 표시되면 가져오기 경로와 순서를 확인하십시오. 내보내기는 대상 플랫폼과 일치해야 합니다. 모니터 데이터를 사용하여 성능을 진단합니다. 예를 들어 job_instance_modenode_cpu_secondsavg_rate5m은 백엔드의 CPU 압력을 나타낼 수 있습니다. 프로덕션 빌드 문제가 발생하면 먼저 개발 엔드포인트로 전환한 다음 빌드를 다시 실행하여 엔드포인트가 계속 사용 가능한지 확인하십시오. 아래 로그를 주시하고 플랫폼별 특이 사항에 대한 설명서를 참조하십시오. 시작 프로젝트는 종종 작은 reactlogo 자산을 사용하여 시각적 요소를 확인합니다. 보이지 않으면 자산 가져오기 경로와 호스트 프로젝트 구성을 다시 확인하십시오. 올바른 순서로 설치 단계를 다시 실행하고 프로젝트에서 장치로의 네트워크 경로를 검증하면 대부분의 설치 오류를 해결할 수 있습니다.
