Note: my computer is running a Windows Insider build that already has the Bash for Windows support mentioned above. Here are the steps I went through to get React Native running. You may have noticed that while Facebook has detailed instructions for getting started with React Native development on OS X, their instructions for getting started on Windows were a little lacking. With a couple of recent announcements, namely Bash for Windows and React Native on the Universal Windows Platform, I began to wonder if React Native development on Windows might already be possible.

Normally a new technology takes me several months to get to a point where I can feel productive on my own, but with React Native it only took a few days, so huge kudos to them for setting up outstanding projects and the engineers at Facebook for creating such an awesome framework. Under the tutelage of Steve Kellock, Gant Laborde, and Mark Rickert, I was shocked at how quickly I was able to ramp up on this new technology. As a software engineer at Infinite Red, I have been privileged to work on several React Native projects over the last month.
