It should work just by following the Getting Started Tutorial, except that you have to run npm install inside your react-native directory.

Then just run for example the Movie Project with Xcode.

If you want to "isolate" the MovieProject or another react-native example project, the easy way is to init a new react native app (react-native init MyAppName) and just copy the JS files from the example project (in the example below the Movie Project) into the new app folder.

And then don't forget to edit your iOS/AppDelegate.m file.

You have to edit 2 lines:

jsCodeLocation = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http:/localhost:8081/index.ios.bundle"];

By:

jsCodeLocation = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://localhost:8081/MoviesApp.bundle"];

AND

RCTRootView *rootView = [[RCTRootView alloc] initWithBundleURL:jsCodeLocation
                                                  moduleName:@"MyAppName"
                                               launchOptions:launchOptions];

By:

RCTRootView *rootView = [[RCTRootView alloc] initWithBundleURL:jsCodeLocation
                                                  moduleName:@"MoviesApp"
                                               launchOptions:launchOptions];
