Follow the steps in the detox Getting Started guide.

Download the Expo app to some directory in your project and configure in package.json

You can download the Expo app from the Expo Tools page. See an example package.json configuration

All you really need to use is reloadApp, like so: https://github.com/expo/with-detox-tests/blob/master/e2e/firstTest.spec.js#L1-L6
