Expo Init Error with error code 1

[henrychen0220]

Description

Currently I am trying to start developing a React-Native Application by following the tutorial on its official website, https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started. As a reach step 2, which is initializing the project by calling expo init AwesomeProject, I encountered an error during the initialization when it is installing dependencies.

Expected Behavior

The expected behavior for this is successfully finish running without encountering any error, and allow me to continue on with the tutorial process.

Observed Behavior

An error log is generated with exit status 1.

Environment

2. Update Npm to the latest version 6.6.0
3. Install Expo by executing npm install -g expo-cli
4. Run expo init AwesomeProject and the error will appear

Hello,

The problem is resolved by using yarn as dependency installer instead of npm.

1. Go to the yarn download website https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/#windows-stable and install yarn on your local machine.
2. Navigate to the directory you want to create your new project and do expo init "project-name".
3. When the init ask for whether you want to use yarn, select yes

Doing the above steps makes the expo init successful on my laptop.
