# Getting started

Work through these in order:

1. [Installation](/client-sdks/react-native-sdk/getting-started/installation.md): add the package to a React Native or Expo app.
2. [Backend token endpoint](/client-sdks/react-native-sdk/getting-started/backend-token-endpoint.md): what your backend returns to the app, and how to keep the API key off the device.
3. [Authentication](/client-sdks/react-native-sdk/getting-started/authentication.md): write the token provider and create the client.
4. [First request](/client-sdks/react-native-sdk/getting-started/quick-start.md): search for a food and confirm the setup works.
5. [Example app](/client-sdks/react-native-sdk/getting-started/example-app.md): run the SDK's example app against the token relay.
