How to install rnpm package for react native

Question

I am trying to install this package for my react-native package. https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-dialogs

I see that I need to execute this command to get it installed. rnpm install --save react-native-dialogs

I have node and npm installed on my machine. I am not sure what rnpm is. I am getting an error. I tried to go through some links but no luck.

'rnpm' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

rnpm has been "absorbed" in to core React Native. If the package is asking you to install via rnpm you can use the following instead

react-native install --save react-native-dialogs

This will install the package from npm and then link the native dependencies. It's a shortened version of

npm install --save react-native-dialogs && react-native link react-native-dialogs
