NativeScript
[](https://travis-ci.org/NativeScript/NativeScript)
[NativeScript](http://www.nativescript.org) empowers you to access native APIs from JavaScript directly. The framework currently provides iOS and Android runtimes for rich mobile development and can be utilized in a number of diverse use cases.
## Getting Started and Installation
Our Getting Started Guides are hands-on tutorials that walk you through developing with NativeScript:
* [Get started with JavaScript](http://docs.nativescript.org/tutorial/chapter-0)
* [Get started with TypeScript and Angular](http://docs.nativescript.org/angular/tutorial/ng-chapter-0)
## Contribute
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/NativeScript/NativeScript.git
$ cd NativeScript

## Other framework source repos
Outside of the source centralized in this repo, the NativeScript framework consists of a number of components, all of which are open source and on GitHub. Here are the major ones:
- **[iOS runtime](https://github.com/NativeScript/ns-v8ios-runtime)**
- [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@nativescript/ios)
- This repo contains the NativeScript iOS runtime — the code that hosts NativeScript iOS apps, and allows JavaScript code to be executed on iOS devices. The iOS runtime is written in a fun mix of C++, Objective-C, and more.
- **[Android runtime](https://github.com/NativeScript/android-runtime)**
- [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/tns-android)
- This repo contains the NativeScript Android — the code that hosts NativeScript Android apps, and allows JavaScript code to be executed on Android devices. The Android runtime is written in a fun mix of C++ and Java.
- **[CLI](//github.com/NativeScript/nativescript-cli)**
- [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/nativescript)
- This repo contains the NativeScript command-line interface, which lets you create, build, and run apps using the NativeScript framework. The CLI is written in TypeScript.
- **[Docs](//github.com/NativeScript/docs)**
- [](https://docs.nativescript.org/)
- This repo contains the NativeScript framework documentation, which is available at . The docs are written in Markdown.
In addition to the code that makes up the NativeScript framework itself, we also provide a number of [open-source sample apps](https://www.nativescript.org/app-samples-with-code) that you can reference while building your NativeScript application.
