why do I get react-native command not found error on windows pc?

Question

I am very new to React-native and I have a sample project when I tried running the command react-native run-android. I got an error command not found.

Answer 1

in the current directory do

react-native -v

you will get the following

react-native -v
react-native-cli: version
react-native: version

if it shows command not found the n you have not installed react native in the directory. Do a npm init in new folder and try installing a new react native project there by doing npm install -g react-native-cli Follow the steps to add path variable react-native.

You're good to go.

Answer 2

Have you run 'npm install' (without parameters) in the project directory? That'll install the dependencies for your project.
