Manual

If Automatic installation failed you, dry your tears and read on.

• Click on the project in XCode, go to Build Phases, then Link Binary With Libraries and add libRNRandomBytes.a

Confused? See an example with screenshots here

Android

• Update Gradle Settings

// file: android/settings.gradle
...

include ':randombytes', ':app'
project(':randombytes').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-randombytes/android')

• Update Gradle Build

// file: android/app/build.gradle
...

dependencies {
    ...
    compile project(':randombytes')
}

• Register React Package

...
import com.bitgo.randombytes.RandomBytesPackage // import

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements DefaultHardwareBackBtnHandler {

    private ReactInstanceManager mReactInstanceManager;
    private ReactRootView mReactRootView;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        mReactRootView = new ReactRootView(this);
        mReactInstanceManager = ReactInstanceManager.builder()
                .setApplication(getApplication())
                .setBundleAssetName("index.android.bundle")
                .setJSMainModuleName("index.android")
                .addPackage(new MainReactPackage())
                .addPackage(new RandomBytesPackage()) // register package here
                .setUseDeveloperSupport(BuildConfig.DEBUG)
                .setInitialLifecycleState(LifecycleState.RESUMED)
                .build();
        mReactRootView.startReactApplication(mReactInstanceManager, "AwesomeProject", null);
        setContentView(mReactRootView);
    }
...

Windows

react-native link react-native-randombytes

Depending on your project versions and the state of RN-Windows this may not always work. If it does not, a manual installation guide can be found here:
