The legacy expo-cli does not support Node +17

Question

I have installed expo-cli and set the env variable. It gives this error:

The legacy expo-cli does not support Node +17. Migrate to the versioned Expo CLI (npx expo). Uncaught Error Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, mkdir 'C:\Users\a.expo'

Node Version: v18.12.1 npm version: 9.1.3

Answer 1

I got the same error after installing a package. After some digging I noticed that the version system has expo dependencies "^1.0.0". As a result, I updated it as " npx expo upgrade " and my application worked. before npx expo upgrade

Answer 2

I had the same problem and I used npx expo-cli upgrade command inside of the project directory and my problem solved.
