About the project

This is an Instagram Clone from its home screen, this was made in order to learn more about how to make a React Native app. Only works on Android since I do not have mediums to emulate iOS

How to run

Step 1: Start the Metro Server

First, you will need to start Metro, the JavaScript bundler that ships with React Native.

To start Metro, run the following command from the root of your React Native project:

# using npm
npm start

# OR using Yarn
yarn start

Step 2: Start your Application

Let Metro Bundler run in its own terminal. Open a new terminal from the root of your React Native project. Run the following command to start your Android app:

# using npm
npm run android

# OR using Yarn
yarn android

If everything is set up correctly, you should see your new app running in your Android Emulator shortly provided you have set up your emulator/simulator correctly.

This is one way to run your app — you can also run it directly from within Android Studio and Xcode respectively.
