How do I properly install expo-cli with yarn?

Question

I'm trying to install expo-cli.

When I use npm install -g expo-cli, it installs with the below output.

When I try to run the expo command I get an error that the system cannot find the path specified. I then uninstalled with npm uninstall -g expo-cli

I uninstalled node and npm and cleaned up my system, then I tried installing expo-cli with yarn global add expo-cli. It installed with the following output.

After this, expo init command worked. But when I run expo start in a project folder I get the below output.

I don't know what else to do. I'm on Windows 10.

Answer 1

For Yarn:

If you want to save expo-cli package globally then try

yarn global add expo-cli

and if you want expo-cli to be available in the folder in which you are currently working then use

yarn add expo-cli

For npm:

npm install expo-cli --global

or

npm install expo-cli

There's a similar issue reported here. You can try adding expo to your local project to see if that helps.

Try:

yarn add expo
