# Install the SDK

> Add the Encore React Native SDK to your project.

## Overview

The Encore React Native SDK is distributed via **npm** and includes native bridges for both iOS and Android.

***

## Install via npm

```bash theme={null}
npm install @encorekit/react-native
```

### iOS: Install CocoaPods

After installing the npm package, install the native iOS dependencies:

```bash theme={null}
cd ios && pod install
```

### Android: Auto-linking

No additional setup needed — React Native auto-links the native Android module.

***

## Verify Installation

You should now be able to import the SDK:

```tsx theme={null}
import Encore from '@encorekit/react-native';
```

**Installation complete!**

***

## Next Steps

Now that the SDK is installed, continue with the integration:

* **[Configure the SDK](./configure)** - Set up your API key and initialize Encore
* **[Identify Users](./user-management)** - Learn how to identify users for offer tracking

## Already Installed?

If you've already installed the SDK and need to update to a newer version, see [Updating the SDK](/publishers/react-native/guides/updating-sdk).
