What is the difference between a reaction-based installation and an npm installation?

Question

I am new to React Native and have seen several blog posts / tutorials use to install the dependencies native-install install or npm. What is the difference and what are the advantages / disadvantages of both methods?

Answer 1

react-native install xxxused to establish a response native dependency, which should be connected subsequently. You only need to bind native iOS / Android dependencies.

The same can be done by executing npm install xxxand then react-native link xxxto link the library

If you just want to install only the JS version of lib, you can simply use npm install
