Not able to create a react native windows project

[manohargss]

I started with the link:
https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/docs/getting-started

I ran 1) npx react-native init --template react-native@^0.63.2
then I ran 2) browsed to the created folder and then npx react-native-windows-init --overwrite

I am getting the below error:

[Error]

The latest supported version is react-native-windows@0.63.1.
Please modify your application to use react-native@^0.63 or another supported version of react-native and try again.

The code that's throwing the error is at

react-native-windows/packages/react-native-windows-init/src/Cli.ts

Line 422 in c7a42af

No compatible version of ${chalk.green('react-native-windows')} found.

Since we can't reproduce the issue on our end, your best bet is to debug the code yourself (run yarn build to compile this to JavaScript which puts cli.js in the lib-commonjs folder). You can use an IDE like vscode to set breakpoints and step through the code to figure out where things are going wrong for you
