Expected behavior

working sample that lets me learn and use the ecosystem and its promise.. as recommended steps https://github.com/microsoft/fluentui-react-native

Generally, I am so confused about this ecosystem .. I want to use it and it has promise, but never can get a valid setup.. Apologies in advance if this is a noob mistake. I have spent a few weekends trying to read various blogs and follow tutorials - generally I am confused about different platforms in play
