npm init react-native support

[wtrocki]

npm init react-native finishes with error:
command not found: create-react-native

Current documentation is yarn based, while the general node community and react is basing on npm init command to create apps.
For example npm init react-app my-app.
Happy to contribute that change back to cli.

I don't think I understand what's the issue here, can you elaborate?

create-react-native is not a package React Native community maintains. There was create-react-native-app but it was deprecated.

The preferred way to init new RN projects currently is through global CLI and the instructions are well defined: https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/tree/master/packages/global-cli.

I missed that. Thanks for the explanation.
