This error is occurring because of the spaces in your username (Mi HI Ri) and you can resolve it by doing the following steps (on Windows):

  1. Open CMD as administrator then go to C:\Users folder and enter command:
dir /x
  1. You will now see a list of items and one of the rows will be having the username (Mi HI Ri). Copy down the text on its left which will be something like MiHIRi~1 (can be different so please don't copy it from here).
  2. And then update your path by executing the command:
// Replace MiHIRi~1 below with the text copied earlier
npm config set cache "C:\Users\MiHIRi~1\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache" --global

I have faced the same issue, do nothing just a quick fix.

first, run the command npm i react-native@latest -g then create your project with your command i.e npx react-native init Sjp
