Start by installing a current version of nodejs via your operating system's package manager. Instructions for current packages for Debian and Ubuntu are available in the nodesource github repository. When the installation is complete, run the following commands
run npm install --legacy-peer-deps # install the required javascript packages
npm install expo-cli --save-dev # install expo-cli as developer dependency
npm run start # start the expo command-line interface
Once expo
is started, follow the instructions on the screen.
