Unexpected end of JSON input while parsing near '…0.0“,”acorn-globals":'

Question

Unfortunately, I'm having issues with installing react-native I get this error while installing

Unexpected end of JSON input while parsing near '...0.0","acorn-globals":'

I think the problem is with something called jest, because but when I try to install only jest, I get the same error, I don't know what jest is I'm just starting to learn react-native .

here is the log files :

What do yo think the problem is ?

Answer 1

It seems and error related to NPM, you could try to solve it in this way:

• clear the cache for NPM npm cache clean .
• delete node_modules
• reinstall your dependencies using npm install .

Answer 2

I had this kind of error while trying create-react-app <project_name> .

For me, this worked:

npm cache clean --force

Then I uninstalled the required package:

sudo npm uninstall -g create-react-app

Then reinstalled with --save flag and this seemed to solve the problem:

sudo install -g create-react-app --save

Hope that helps! Happy coding!
