However, we would like to support developers using Linux and Windows too. We believe we'll get the best Linux and Windows support from people using these operating systems on a daily basis.\r\n\r\n>Therefore, Linux and Windows support for the development environment is an ongoing community responsibility. This can mean filing issues and submitting PRs, and we'll help review and merge them. We are looking forward to your contributions and appreciate your patience.\r\n\r\n>As of version 0.13 (currently in rc) Android development with React native is mostly possible on Linux and Windows. You'll need to install Node.js 4.0 or newer. On Linux we recommend installing watchman, otherwise you might hit a node file watching bug.\r\n"}}
