How to use the new version?

[b0iq]

I was wondering if I can try the next version, are there any steps that can I follow to start testing it?

I know you guys are working so hard to release the beta version within the next days but I think if you provide a way to install the under development version; that is going to let other developers helping with and prevent future issues from happening.

THANK YOU ALL.

Sorry for my English :p

Hey @b0iq ! Thanks for your interest in Ignite v8: Maverick!

To test the new version, do this:

# just in case
npm uninstall -g ignite-cli

git clone https://github.com/infinitered/ignite.git
cd ignite
git checkout maverick
yarn
yarn link

Then, in a temp folder:

ignite new PizzaApp

This will use the new Maverick version!

Anytime you want to update to the latest:

cd ignite
git pull
yarn

... and continue using it.

When you're done testing:

cd ignite
yarn unlink

You don't want that alpha version hanging around.

Additionally, you can run the boilerplate directly from Maverick:

cd ignite/boilerplate
yarn
yarn ios
yarn android
yarn expo:start
