React Native does not support development on Windows (yet)?


UPDATE: As of version 0.14 (Oct 2015) Windows development is possible (details) thanks to the awesome work of the community.


Windows is officially not supported yet, see the documentation on Getting Started.

We wanted to get the release out as early as possible and focused on Mac OS first.

People in the community got React Native to work on Linux with some minimal changes (we'll be documenting these soon) and looks like someone just got it working on Windows too:

I found a way to fix it by installing cygwin and running:cd packagesh package.sh

I hope it helps someone.


ReactWindows adds support for the Windows 10 SDK, which allows you to build apps for:

  • Windows 10
  • Windows 10 Mobile
  • Xbox One (UWP)
  • Windows 7 and 8.1 (WPF)
