Step By Step Guide

1) Open the terminal at your project directory and create your new project npx react-native init [proj_name]

It will download the react-native template and install cocoapods dependencies. This may take few minutes depending on your network speed.

2) now we need to go inside the project folder to execute further commands

cd [proj_name]

yarn

3) Now download/clone the code from GitHub repo and update the folder structure as instructed below.

Locate "src" and "docs" folder in Ethora project directory and copy both the folders

Paste them in your project directory

Now open both the projects in your code editor side by side.

Navigate to package.json and replace dependencies, devDependencies and jest from package.json of Ethora to your project's package.json

Navigate to index.js

Now we need to change the import from default app.js to app.js from inside the src folder

In order to do this, change import App from './App'; to import App from './src/App';

Go to your terminal again and execute yarn command in your project directory because the package.json is now updated.

This will install all the required packages.

4) Now in your project folder execute the following commands.

cd ios

pod install

resolve the errors then in your project directory execute yarn ios

This will build the app.

Dismiss the notice and navigate to "docs" folder in your project directory.

Open config.js

You can now set the appTitle to your project name and add your own logo for rebranding.

You'll find all the options for the modification in this config.js for you to continue building your own product with ethora engine.
