Yarn is Installed globally but not working properly - npm

I am using a Windows 10 device.
I have installed Yarn globally and when I use
npm list -g it shows that Yarn is installed
But yarn --version returns
bash: yarn: command not found
While npx yarn --version responded with the version 1.22.18
The problem is, I don't want to keep adding npx each time I want to run a yarn command

Why am I unable to install expo cli?

I have followed the documentation from Expo website, installed NodeJs, git, watachmann, however I m still getting errors when installing Expo cli:
First, ensure you use the recommended version of nodejs. For that, you can use the n module:
// if you haven't installed it before
sudo npm install n -g
//to have the latest stable version
sudo n stable
Then delete all your preview installs with npm and start over. For expo-cli:
sudo npm uninstall --global expo-cli
sudo npm install --global expo-cli

How can I install a specific NativeScript version?

Im trying to install the tns 6.7.4 version, but I just get the 7.1.2 version.
I tried to do:
sudo npm uninstall -g nativescript
sudo npm cache clean --force
sudo npm install -g nativescript#6.7.4
I also tried with nativescript#6 and also with nativescript#6.7 but everything ends with the 7.1.2 version.
The command npm i -g nativescript will install the NativeScript CLI. It won't update/migrate your existing project. However, once you have installed a specific version of the CLI, you can use it to create new projects with the related versions.
For example
npm uninstall -g nativescript
npm i -g nativescript#5.4.0
tns --version // will output 5.4.0
Once you have the wanted version of the CLI you can create a project that uses the core dependencies

Errors when running npm install -g create-react-app in ubuntu 20.04

So i'm trying to install react native in ubuntu 20.04, and i'm following this guide https://www.techomoro.com/install-and-setup-a-react-app-on-ubuntu/ , but when running "-g create-react-app" the terminal gives me these problems https://imgur.com/a/1tijndK , how do i solve them? i have node and npm installed (see the picture)
You npm version is suitable for this:
npx create-react-app your-app-name
npx command uses create-react-app without downloading it as global.
If you already added the create-react-app globally, uninstall it first.
#issue with npm
Try following command,
npx install create-react-app -g
npx create-react-app my-app
cd my-app
npm start
Sometimes the npm install doesn't work.
https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/
This seems like a an administrative access issues.
Trying running:
$sudo npx create-react-app my-app
It will ask you for the administrators password, fill that in and it should be up and running.

Expo cli update not happening

I am trying to upgrade expo-cli from 2.11 to 2.18 but npm i -g expo-cli#latest still points to the old version.
when I typed expo-cli -V it resulted:
2.11 ...so naturally npm i -g expo-cli#latest will grab the latest version and install it but still expo-cli -v is still pointing to the old version.
I remember installing packages in bash level is a no go operation.
these are some images to put it all into context:
Update: Removed Nodes modules as suggested in the first answer, and that lead to npm removal both expo and expo-cli are not found with the command where
For mac users (linux should be very similar):
Find your expo-cli version:
which expo-cli
For me it yielded:
/Users/username/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/.bin/expo-cli
Remove this outdated version:
rm -rf /Users/username/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/.bin/expo-cli
Check that you are using the latest version:
expo-cli --version
Updating expo-cli globally can be a right pain. To those experiencing this frustration, use yarn
yarn global add expo-cli
it will give you far fewer headaches
On MacOS (Linux should be very similar):
Find the location of the expo-cli version:
which expo-cli
You would probably get:
/usr/local/bin/expo-cli
Remove this outdated version by using:
rm -rf /usr/local/bin/expo-cli
Then install the latest version:
npm install -g expo-cli
After that, check that you are using the latest version:
expo-cli --version
If you're like me, and none of this stuff worked, maybe my solution will help.
My problem is that I switched from NPM, to Yarn at some point, and I had global packages in both systems, which was giving me a bunch of trouble.
Step 1: Make sure you don't have expo-cli in global npm
npm list-g
Step 2: If it is in global npm, uninstall it
npm uninstall --global expo-cli
Step 3: Install it fresh with yarn
yarn global add expo-cli
Step 4: Stop using npm for global packages (or at least, only use one system)
edit: spelling
If you are using a Mac, these 2 commands will do the tricks
1)which expo to locate expo in your Mac which will give you this "/usr/local/bin/expo"
2) "cd /usr/local/bin/"
3)-rm expo
4)-rm expo-cli
the hole system was behaving oddly!, npm should've been installed with node but it was nowhere to be found.
I had to remove node and reinstall it again, then I had to install expo-cli again and all errors went away.
When npm does not work in an easy way, --force it!
npm install -g expo-cli --force
Update to the latest version of Expo CLI:
npm i -g expo-cli. expo-cli#4.7.2 or greater is required.
Update to the latest version of EAS CLI if you use it:
npm i -g eas-cli.
Run expo upgrade in your project directory.
Reference: https://docs.expo.dev/workflow/upgrading-expo-sdk-walkthrough/
there is more than a reason for not updating the expo-cli.
reason 1 - you maybe installed expo-cli using yarn and after a while you need to update and using npm npm install -g expo-cli it will update but maybe when you run expo its point to that yarn version so to resolve this you need to run yarn global remove expo-cli.
reason 2 - it might you have two versions of expo-cli one its global version and one inside your project folder/path, so even you upgrade expo-cli globally, your project still point to the first class version which is in your project folder. to resolve this you need to uninstall expo-cli which exists in your project folder to point to the global version and you can do this using this command npm uninstall expo-cli notice without -g.
reson 3 - sometimes you need to clean npm cache. if nothing works for you above try to uninstall expo-cli using npm uninstall -g expo-cli and then run this command npm cache clean --force then install expo-cli again npm install -g expo-cli.
expo-cli --version
npm uninstall expo-cli
npm install -g expo-cli
expo-cli --version
if cannot, you can update manually
check path
npm bin -g
change "node_modules" folder or remove
C:\Users{username}.npm-global\node_modules
npm install -g expo-cli
copy\past expo-cli folder
from C:\Users{username}.npm-global\node_modules\expo-cli
to C:\Users{username}\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\expo-cli
expo-cli --version

Uninstalling Expo CLI

I have installed Expo CLI globally and cant start a new react native app without using expo cli and therefore would like to uninstall it from my system. I have spent hours trying to work out how to removeit globally from my system
To completely uninstall expo cli
On Windows
The first step npm -g uninstall expo-cli --save (also yarn global remove expo-cli if you use yarn).
Second cd %USERPROFILE% && rmdir /Q /S .expo
On Mac OS Catalina
The first step npm -g uninstall expo-cli --save (also yarn global remove expo-cli if you use yarn).
Second cd ~ && rm -rf .expo
Thanks to #Александр Наумкин and #Liko for editing and comments
npm -g uninstall expo-cli --save did not work for me, but yarn global remove expo-cli did.
I expected the npm option to work, and was surprised when it didn't. I am using nvm, and wonder if this answer explains why the npm option didn't work for me.
I had the same problem and after searching I found this command:
npm -g uninstall expo-cli --save
finally expo-cli is deleted from my pc but it still asks about it every time I type create-react-native-app. if anybody knows how to go on from here be my guest.
and I hope this helps you
edit: if you use react-native init it is almost the same as create-react-native-app without expo-cli. This is how I chose to carry on as using the create command with expo-cli gives the application error after error if you install any api.
if you are using npm then this command will work for uninstalling expo cli
npm -g uninstall expo-cli --save
I had the same problem once, i have tried
npm -g uninstall expo-cli
but after the my problem didn't get solved, i have searched lot even after that problem did't get solved,
i am also using yarn so finally i have decided to remove using the yarn
i tried
yarn global remove expo-cli
This indeed solved my issue
If you are using nvm.
search for node version with expo installed.
find ~/.nvm -name "*expo*" -type d
nvm use {nodeversion}
npm -g uninstall expo-cli
If yarn don't work for you or you prefer using npm use:
npm rm -g expo cli
Very simple to uninstall a npm package.
Just enter this command :
npm uninstall -g expo-cli
In Windows 10 npm uninstall -g expo-cli --save worked for me from nodejs console, opening it as administrator
In windows 10 to uninstall :
npm uninstall -g expo-cli --save
yarn remove global expo-cli
Worked for me.
After that, for install last version then:
npm install -g expo-cli --save
expo-cli --version
3.21.13
I had this issue.
My steps
npm cache clean --force
npx install create-react-native-app
cd
npm install -g expo-cli
expo start
If you get error at 4 about node.js just install latest version. Then
Open your package.json file and add:
"react-navigation": "git://github.com/Snailapp/react-navigation.git#2.18.5"
npm install
Ok, in addition to existing answers, with commands like npm -g uninstall expo-cli and deleting manually .expo folder inside %USER% i try expo whoami, and my output was:
$ expo whoami
There is a new version of expo-cli available (4.13.0).
You are currently using expo-cli 3.23.3
Install expo-cli globally using the package manager of your choice;
for example: npm install -g expo-cli to get the latest version
[13:13:03] › Not logged in, run expo login to authenticate
So i had to do a bit more manual work:
%USER%\AppData\local and deleted expo folder
went to %USER%\AppData\Roaming\npm folder and manually deleted expo related files
After that i did expo whoami and output is:
$ expo whoami
bash: /c/Users/User/AppData/Roaming/npm/expo: No such file or directory
Finally, i opened new command prompt and did npm i --g expo-cli and after installation with expo -V i get 4.13.0.
I had the same issue
i unistalled using
npm uninstall expo-cli
or
npm unistall -g expo-cli
