# icon gl-react-native If you are using Expo, it is recommended to use `gl-react-expo` instead. `gl-react-native` is the [React Native](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/) implementation of [gl-react](https://github.com/gre/gl-react). It is in fact backed by [unimodules](https://github.com/unimodules/react-native-unimodules) and [expo-gl](https://www.npmjs.com/package/expo-gl). ## Install You will have to set up `react-native-unimodules` as documented here: https://github.com/unimodules/react-native-unimodules **You will need to setup react-native-unimodules** ``` yarn add react-native-unimodules ``` If it's the first time you install `react-native-unimodules`, you will have to carefully follow the documentation to configure your project: [configure unimodules](https://github.com/unimodules/react-native-unimodules) (if not yet done) **You can then install gl-react dependencies:** ``` yarn add gl-react gl-react-native ``` ## Links - [Github](https://github.com/gre/gl-react) - [Cookbook, examples, API](https://gl-react-cookbook.surge.sh) - [![Join the chat at https://gitter.im/gl-react/Lobby](https://badges.gitter.im/gl-react/Lobby.svg)](https://gitter.im/gl-react/Lobby?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge)
