Documentation

Since React Native macOS is just a fork, you can follow the same instructions on the React Native Documentation.

Disclaimer

React Native macOS is a fork of React Native for iOS. The library is still fairly new so proceed at your own risk. There has been no successful story for any React Native macOS application yet, so it's not proven by production use.
