react-native init causing build fail out of box

Question

Using react-native init <projectName> , then npm install results in a build fail with error :

Command /bin/sh failed with exit code 127

and message:

 ../node_modules/react-native/packager/react-native-xcode.sh: line 36: react-native: command not found
Command /bin/sh failed with exit code 127

Have installed react-native both locally, and globally to no avail.

Has anyone run into this issue and know how to solve?

The hack explained here works: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/3948

Add source ~/.bash_profile to the beginning of react-native-xcode.sh

Apparently, fixed in 0.16.0-rc ! https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/9a64f17de84e50a4fc60f1b96168aa61925934a8
