Error building RNChat

[Bhakta Raghavan]

Using
RN: "0.42.3",
React: "16.2.0",
RNChat: latest code

I followed the steps to do:

npm install && react-native link && react-native run-android and I see the below error:

bhakta@bhaktas-mbp:/dev/react-native/RNChat$ react-native run-android
Scanning 796 folders for symlinks in /Users/bhakta/dev/react-native/RNChat/node_modules (8ms)

Make sure you have an Android emulator running or a device connected and have
set up your Android development environment:

It does open a packager window which shows the following:
