# Installation

> How to install and set up the Stytch React Native SDK in your application.

<Note>This guide is for our new Kotlin Multiplatform SDK which is in **Public beta**. If you are instead looking for the stable version, please see [here](/api-reference/consumer/mobile-sdks/react-native-legacy/installation).</Note>

For a full walk-through of how to get up and running with a sign-up and login flow using Stytch, check out our [Quickstart Guide](/get-started/quickstart).

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install Packages">
    Install the `@stytch/react-native-consumer` package:

    ````bash theme={null}
    npm install @stytch/react-native-consumer --save
    </Step>
    <Step title="Create the Stytch client">
    Initialize the Stytch client, passing in your Project's `public_token` from the [Project Overview](https://stytch.com/dashboard) of the Stytch Dashboard.

    ```jsx
    import { createStytchConsumer, StytchClientConfiguration } from '@stytch/react-native-consumer';

    const stytch = createStytchConsumer(new StytchClientConfiguration(publicToken));
    ````
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wrap your application in <StytchProvider>">
    Next, pass the Stytch client to the `<StytchProvider>` component at the root of your application, making it accessible to all child components.

    ```jsx theme={null}
    import { StytchProvider } from '@stytch/react-native-consumer';
    import { stytch } from './stytch';

    export const App = () => {
      return (
        <StytchProvider stytch={stytch}>
          {/* Your app here */}
        </StytchProvider>
      );
    };
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Expo Configuration">
    If you are using expo, you may also need to add the following configurations:

    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "expo": {
        "plugins": [
          [
            "expo-build-properties",
            {
              "android": {
                "packagingOptions": {
                  "exclude": ["META-INF/versions/9/OSGI-INF/MANIFEST.MF"],
                },
                "ios": {
                  "useFrameworks": "static",
                }
              },
            },
          ]
        ]
      }
    }
    ```
  </Step>
