about react-native init AwesomeProject?

[leiyong316]

I execute this command to wait a very long time

[siuying]

If you are in China you might hit the GFW?

@leiyong316 - When you run react-native init, it will create a new project and also run npm install and pull in react-native - it can potentially take a while to run, especially if you're on a slow connection or, as @siuying mentioned, it may not work at all if you're behind a firewall.

Closing this issue, feel free to create a new one with more details (how long you waited, whether it ever completed, whether you have issues with other npm packages, any logs) if he above clarification didn't help! 😄

Same problem here. I am not on a slow connection. It just seems like it never stops loading after
"This will walk you through creating a new React Native project in /Users/Name/AwesomeProject"

I have a 16mbit connection. It seems to create the node_modules and the package.json and that's it.

same here :(

[moimael]

same for me

[zjx9461]

same with me .
Mac:10.11

Experiencing the same very slow init, but it does eventually finish and create the Project

For who is wondering what react-native is actually doing, use (example for OSX):
sudo react-native init <your project name> --verbose

[qtdc1229]

sudo react-native init AwesomeProject --verbose

then stop at package.json written

prompt: Directory AwesomeProject already exist. Continue?:  (no) yes
This will walk you through creating a new React Native project in /Users/dingchao/AwesomeProject

@qtdc1229 I have the same problem >_<

encountered this,is this of network problem?
almost everyone live in China??

[bellu]

Same problem here. But running the command in the verbose mode (thanks @gumpyoung) solved the problem.

[huozhi]

Same issue, I found the solution for people who live in China.
If you are behind the GFW, you could set your npm registry.
Alibaba's npm mirrors works fine.

My laptop:
OSX EI Capitan
npm v2.14.4
node v4.1.1

I set the registry in my ~/.npmrc

registry=https://registry.npm.taobao.org

then execute react-native init SomeProject,
download very fast and then all down.

After finish you will see this

...
   create android/gradlew
   create android/gradlew.bat
   create android/app/src/main/java/com/project/MainActivity.java
To run your app on iOS:
   Open /Users/huozhi/Code/react/project/ios/project.xcodeproj in Xcode
   Hit Run button
To run your app on Android:
   Have an Android emulator running, or a device connected
   cd /Users/huozhi/Code/react/project
   react-native run-android

Hope it works for you, enjoy your development

I am not in China, but I also got stuck here when running

react-native init AwesomeProject --verbose
