React-native Awesome project not building android project

Question

I am trying to learn react-native but am not able to build the demo AwesomeProject. I have set the $ANDROID_HOME variable in ~/.bash_profilefile. But every time I build it I get following error.

What went wrong:

 A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.  Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':app:_debugCompile'.  Could not find com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1.  Searched in the following locations:      file:/Users/<username>/.m2/repository/com/android/support/appcompat-v7/23.0.1/appcompat-v7-23.0.1.pom      file:/Users/<username>/.m2/repository/com/android/support/appcompat-v7/23.0.1/appcompat-v7-23.0.1.jar      https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/support/appcompat-v7/23.0.1/appcompat-v7-23.0.1.pom      https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/support/appcompat-v7/23.0.1/appcompat-v7-23.0.1.jar  Required by:      AwesomeProject:app:unspecified  Could not find com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1.

I don't know why it's looking in this folder file:

/Users/<username>/.m2/repository/com/android/support/appcompat-v7/23.0.1 

Installed sdk version is 23.0.1 still I am getting this error.

I have a dotnet background trying to learn react-native.

Finally got it. You have to install Android Support Repository in Extras, in the Android SDK manager

Open the SDK, scroll down to the last part, open the extras, select android support repository, and click on "install packages" here is a screenshot
