Bug

Initializing a projet with command :
npx react-native init project --template react-native-template-typescript
Returns an error:

error An unexpected error occurred: "https://registry.yarnpkg.com/react-native-template-react-native-template-typescript: Not found".

Environment info

react-native version: 0.61.3
CLI: @react-native-community/cli
yarn: 1.19.1

Are you sure you are running the latest CLI version? Seems like you still have the old one installed. try running with npx --ignore-existing flag.

I have the same issue. But I fix it by:

1. Install latest cli version (now 2.9.0)

yarn global add @react-native-community/cli

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

In new version of cli you can see ASCII React logo

Yes, I had to do this, with npx doesnt work for me.

npm i --global @react-native-community/cli
react-native init MyApp --template react-native-template-typescript

Thanks

Can you tell your current npm version? It's latest?

@danibram

Can you tell your current npm version? It's latest?

npm v6.10.0
node v12.7.0

The latest is 6.12.0, but mine is near...

Sorry for the delay on the answer. It appears I didn't have the latest version of the CLI tool. The problem was that the old cli wasn't correctly removed. Thanks for the help.

Went through the same problem - worth adding this to README faqs?

Can you try adding the --ignore-existing flag

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

[carlosstenzel]

Best solution I found

Remove

npm uninstall -g react-native-cli

Create the folder where the project will be

mkdir [folder name] && cd [folder name]

Install the dependencies and everything will work

yarn init
yarn add react-native
yarn react-native init [Project Name] ...

Try update yarn.
