Setting up expo client from source

Expo SDK
1

I’m trying to setup the expo client through the setup instructions on the GitHub repo and I’m running into issues. I’m currently on this step:

Make sure you have a JS packager for the root Expo project already running

I’m assuming this means to run exp start at the root of the expo project.

When I do this I receive these log messages:

[exp] Error: Move your “exp” config from package.json to exp.json.
[exp] Error: Problem validating fields in exp.json. See https://docs.expo.io/versions/v24.0.0/guides/configuration.html.
[exp] • Field: slug - ‘slug’ should match pattern “[1]+$”.

Should I add a slug to the config? I get a similar log after adding a slug.

Does “react-native” need to be added as a dependency?

Am I suppose to run exp start from the js directory?

When I running it from the js directory I get these log messages:

[exp] Warning: expo/react-native#exp-latest is not a valid version. Version must be in the form of sdk-x.y.z. Please update your package.json file.
[exp] Warning: expo/react-native#exp-latest is not a valid version. Version must be in the form of sdk-x.y.z. Please update your package.json file.
[exp] Warning: Expo version in package.json does not match sdkVersion in manifest.

[exp] If there is an issue running your project, please run npm install in /Users/brianweiser/repos/expo/js and restart.
[exp] Starting React Native packager…
[exp] ENOENT: no such file or directory, open ‘/Users/brianweiser/repos/expo/js/node_modules/react-native/packager/transformer.js’

Do I need to update the js directory project to use same expo sdk version in package.json and app.json?

Does anyone know how I should proceed in setting up the expo client from source?

I’m running node version 7.10.1 and npm version 4.2.0

Thank you for your help.
