+Android test project includes two flavors: 
+`fromBin` - uses the precompiled aar from `node_moudles` just like a standard RN project.
+`fromSource` - compiles the project with RN sources from `node_modules`, this is useful when developing and debugging Espresso idle resource. 
+[Here](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/building-from-source.html#android) are the prerequisites to compiling React Native from source.
+
+Each build can be triggered separately by running its assemble task:
+`./gradlew assembleFromSourceDebug` or `./gradlew assembleFromBinDebug`.
+
+To run from Android Studio, React native `react.gradle` script requires `node` to be in path.
+on macOS environment variables can be exported to desktop applications by adding the following to your `.bashrc`/`.zshrc`:
+
+```sh
+launchctl setenv PATH $PATH
+```
