Hey thachp, thanks for reporting this issue!

React Native, as you've probably heard, is getting really popular and truth is we're getting a bit overwhelmed by the activity surrounding it. There are just too many issues for us to manage properly.

@thachp I just followed the steps and can't reproduce the errors. Did you manage to get it working?

Related to #4968 . Let's track it there.

The main reason for this error (right now) has to do with the fact that RN 0.21+ now has React as a peer dependency. You now need to install React as a dependency of your project, so npm install react --save is what solves this specific issue.

@dsibiski Receiving this exact issue with react@15.0.2 I had installed. I believe this is a inconsistency issue with R and RN.

It looks like this is where 15..* branches from 0.1_._* according to a specific comment at Reacts recent releases

LinkedStateMixin and valueLink are now deprecated due to very low popularity. If you need this, you can use a wrapper component that implements the same behavior

I installed react@^0.14.2 and the issue was resolved.
