I can't create a react-native project?

Question

I installed react native cli and other packages, but can't create a react native project?

-bash: react-native: command not found

Answer 1

You have to install react native cli in global. You can use this to do that

npm install react-native-cli -g

Answer 2

I was having a lot of trouble with this, as none of the other answers provided were working. The top answer here was what allowed me to get through my problem: npm global path prefix .

If you get a subsequent EACCES permissions problem, use this so as to not having to go back to square one to fiddle with the npm default directory again:

sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root
