I've been trying to start a new React Native project but have been facing this issue for a few days, tried searching for it on a lot of forums but couldn't find any solution that works for me.

The commands I've tried:

npx react-native init MyApp

npx react-native init MyApp --template react-native-template-typescript

npx --ignore-existing react-native init MyApp --template react-native-template-typescript

Someone mentioned removing react-native-CLI using:

npm uninstall -g react-native-cli and yarn global remove react-native-cli

Still, no luck. Would be great if anyone could help out.

BTW, I've Node version 14.1.0

Here is the error from terminal

Your version of node (14.1.0) doesn't meet the requirements of the template project.

If you want to stick to node 14, use ^14.15.0, otherwise switch to node 16 (LTS), and re-run the command.

    In my case npm version is below 7, so addition to this updated npm with 'sudo npm install --global npm@7' – Thanhal P A Mar 05 '22 at 08:46
  • I got the same error and Google leads me here. I use node 12 and then I switched to node 16 and error gone. This is a weird error message. – Wayne Mao Aug 25 '22 at 01:47

Check if your "C:\Users\YourUser" has a folder named "node_modules" and/or a file named "package.json" and/or a file named "yarn.lock". If you have them create a new folder (name it whatever you want) and move "node_modules" and/or "package.json" and/or "yarn.lock" to that new folder. Exit the folder and try to init the project again.

You have yarn in your system and to proceed with react-native need to uninstall yarn

npm: npm uninstall -g yarn

brew: brew uninstall yarn

tarball: rm -rf "$HOME/.yarn"

ubuntu: sudo apt-get remove yarn && sudo apt-get purge yarn

centos: yum remove yarn

windows: choco uninstall yarn

(or go to control panel > add/remove programs and uninstall it from there)
