Hola coders,
In this article, we will learn about prerequisites and tools installation on Windows.
Prerequisite
Laptop with basic configuration (min 4GB RAM)
Basic knowledge of JavaScript
Tools Required
Visual Studio Code
Android Studio (Installation for some tools to run the app)
NOTE: For smooth installtion of Node JS and Java SDK, we can use a windows package manager that is chocolatey.
You can refer to the video created by Hitesh Choudhary .
Still facing certain issue while installing chocolatey, you can take help from following links which helped me in smooth installation.

Exception calling "DownloadString" with "1" argument(s): "The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive." LINK
Once chocolatey is successfully installed, you can install Node JS and Java SDK using the following command in PowerShell.
choco install -y nodejs-lts microsoft-openjdk11
Verify the successful installation as following commands. If you get a number it's installed properly.
node --version
java --version
Android Installation
Download an .exe file from link and just click next next I agree. It will download android studio successfully.
We will not use Android Studio, need to install for certain builds to execute App in Android Phone.
One such tool is ADB-> Android Debugger Bridge.
Execute adb --version. For proper installation. In case, you get an error refer to the link and download platform-tools and add it to the PATH.
Now, you are good to go and get started with React Native.
The End
