# Running the Sample App with Expo

The best way to familiarize yourself with the social.plus UIKit is by exploring our built-in sample app. This application serves as a live demonstration of the toolkit's capabilities and can be used to test your code while customizing it. Feel free to deep-dive into the features and the extendibility of our UIKit using this application!

Follow these easy steps:

1. **Install Packages**: Use yarn to install all the necessary packages by running the command

```
yarn
```

2. **Configuration**: Configure your apiKey, apiRegion, userId, and displayName in the [/example/src/App.tsx](https://github.com/AmityCo/Amity-Social-UIKit-React-Native-OpenSource/blob/main/example/src/App.tsx) file before launching the sample app.
