To avoid unnecessary responses npm uninstall react-native-cli -g has been already done.

rncli-init-template-rVvcjE from the file path mentioned above does not even exist and I am not sure why. Thanks, everybody for help in advance I am new to stack overflow I have only been programming competitively so far. No stranger to algorithms but for cross-platform development frameworks, I'm a newbie.

Try to init with yarn. Yarn has a better performance than npm (link July 2019).

Install yarn first

npm install -g yarn

Install react-native-cli. If don't work try with sudo.

yarn global add react-native-cli

Create yout project

react-native init myapp
