Requirements:

Please go through tnhis checklist before opening a new issue

• [ X] Review the documentation
• [X ] Search for existing issues in: viromedia/viro & ViroCommunity/viro
• [X ] Use the latest ViroReact release

Environment

Please provide the following information about your environment:

1. Development OS: MacOS Ventura 13.1
2. Device OS & Version: Not getting that far
3. Version: ViroReact version 2.17.0 React Native version 0.59.9 CLI 2.0.1
4. Device(s): Within terminal on MacBook
5. Node 21.5.0. OpenSSL 3.2.0. ngrok 3.5.0

   Description

   Followed instructions found at https://viro-community.readme.io/docs/quick-start-maclinux

Researched error:0308010C and per suggestions upgraded node, OpenSSL and ngrok. Got the same error. I tried adding "NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider" in package.json; didn't get any error but froze after "Loading dependency graph, done."
I created a new directory and reinstalled ViroSample there before retrying npm start. I haven't changed anything in the new ViroSample directory.

Reproducible Demo

danleonard@Dans-MacBook-Pro ViroSample % npm start

ViroSample@0.0.1 prestart ./node_modules/react-viro/bin/run_ngrok.sh

Ngrok is already running

ViroSample@0.0.1 start node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js start

Fixed by going to old version of node (Using brew on Mac) . Not sure if the best approach.

brew install node@16
brew unlink node brew link node@16

Glad you were able to figure this out! We are planning on updating this documentation in the future with a better guide.
