'React native init is not working in new fresh project

I'm trying to create a fresh project with react-native 0.59.8 but is failing.

I have tried different versions of react-native so I think the problem is in yarn, node or npm versions that i'm using.

{ Error: Command failed: yarn add react-native --exact

    at tryModuleLoad (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:539:12) }

My stack is:

  • node: 10.15.3
  • npm: 6.4.1
  • yarn: 1.16.0
  • react-native-cli: 2.0.1


Solution 1:[1]

It's better to use React-native 0.57 version for better stability and make sure you have node modules greater than version 10 and correct environmental variables

react-native init ProjectName --version [email protected]

Solution 2:[2]

If your $ node -v is below 12, update to 12 or newer.

Solution 3:[3]

This version works for me as of May 2022.

npx react-native init deeplinktest --version 0.67.4

Solution 4:[4]

try with react-native init YourProjectName
