Set up your environment

Learn how to set up your development environment to start building with Expo.

Let's set up a local development environment for running your project on Android and iOS.

Where would you like to develop?

We recommend using a real device to develop, since you'll get to see exactly what your users will see.

Expo Go is a sandbox for trying out Expo quickly. A development build is a build of your own app that includes Expo's developer tools.

Scan the QR code to download the app from the Google Play Store, or visit the Expo Go page on the Google Play Store.

You have a project and a development environment. Now it's time to start developing.
