 Upgrading to a new version of React Native requires updating the `react-native`, `react`, and `expo` package versions, and setting the correct `sdkVersion` in `app.json`. See the [versioning guide](https://github.com/react-community/create-react-native-app/blob/master/VERSIONS.md) for up-to-date information about package version compatibility.

+## Getting Started
 
-If Yarn was installed when the project was initialized, then dependencies will have been installed via Yarn, and you should probably use it to run these commands as well. Unlike dependency installation, command running syntax is identical for Yarn and NPM at the time of this writing.
+Clone the repository to your local code editor. 
+Use either HTTPS or SSH to clone the project files using git. 
+
+```git clone https://github.com/tylerwong1/react-native-dating-app.git```
+
+Once downloaded, cd into the project directory and install the proper node modules.
 
-### `npm start`
+`npm install`
 
-Runs your app in development mode.
+After installing the node modules, the application is ready to run.
 
-Open it in the [Expo app](https://expo.io) on your phone to view it. It will reload if you save edits to your files, and you will see build errors and logs in the terminal.
+`npm start`
+
+Runs the application in development mode. A QR code will pop up allowing you to scan it with your mobile device. Make sure to have [Expo](https://expo.io) 
+installed and the QR code will open up the application. Any log messages and errors will show once the application is downloaded. To test any changes made to the app, save the changes in the local files and the app will recompile and load any edits.
