How to use react-native-firebase

I'm using the react native firebase guide to install firebase in my react native app: https://rnfirebase.io/#2-android-setup

The installation has been successful and firebase is connected to my app.

However when I try to import from the SDK, I'm getting an error that it's not found:

import firebase from 'react-native-firebase'

The error reads:

Undefined Unable to resolve module 'react-native-firebase' from 'App.js'...

As the docs instruct I just used npm install like so:

npm install --save @react-native-firebase/app

And the package is indeed installed. So what could be the reason? Is it not an SDK anymore?

Step 1. Clear watchman watches: watchman watch-del-all

Step 2. Delete the node_modules folder: rm -rf node_modules && npm install

Step 3. Reset packager cache: npm start -- --reset-cache
