create-react-app finally got me beyond that roadblock and I'm deep into creating my first production React UI. Obviously this doesn't solve the problem for React Native, but it's worth mentioning, since it's an official release.

I'm actually okay with the process for normal React, it's just downloading npm and then typing a long list of packages after npm install. It's React Native then I find the 'from zero' to working dev environment process faintly ludicrous.

What are you having problems with? I remember setting up react-native to be a total breeze the first time around, especially compared to html react.

We completely revamped the React Native getting started experience a month ago. Let me know if it's easier now: http://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started....

That is so much better than when I last looked!

Great job.
