I am on a Mac and I am trying to download a project my team is working on from GitHub and work on it. I cloned the repo and when I tried to use
react-native run-ios
I get the error message:
Command run-ios unrecognized. Make sure that you have run npm install and that you are inside a react-native project.
I have tried to use
npm install
on the folder but it will still not run. Any help?

This is the template i am trying to use,
https://www.instamobile.io/app-templates/food-app-template
https://github.com/instamobile/recipes-app-react-native
I have downloaded it into a folder named FoodApp and ran npm install.
Then i run npx react-native start. After that I open another command prompt and run npx react-native run-android. It shows error
error Android project not found. Are you sure this is a React Native
project? If your Android files are located in a non-standard location
(e.g. not inside 'android' folder), consider setting
project.android.sourceDir option to point to a new location. Run CLI
with --verbose flag for more details.
This app uses the Expo toolset and requires expo-cli to be installed before it can be ran. You can install it with npm install -g expo-cli followed by expo start to run the app.
I have been working with react-native project in another pc and it has been working correctly. Now I cloned project to another device where I have react-native installed since I work with other project and I cannot run it.
When I run react-native run-android I get this error:
Cannot run program "npx": error=2, No such file or directory
I'm using Android Studio 4 on Mac OS Catalina 10.15.6.
I solved the problem by running Android Studio with bellow command on console.
$ open -a "Android Studio.app"
Simple steps you need to go through to make it work with npx
sudo npm uninstall -g react-native-cli
sudo npm i -g npx
npx react-native run-android
More detailed explanation why this is happenig
Issue was that Facebook is not using anymore react-native-cli as they are using npx.
As stated in Facebook page:
If you previously installed a global react-native-cli package, please remove it as it may cause unexpected issues.
So i had to run sudo npm uninstall -g react-native-cli to remove react-native-cli
They also say that npx is shipped with nodejs but that wasn't my case.
React Native has a built-in command line interface, which you can use to generate a new project. You can access it without installing anything globally using npx, which ships with Node.js.
So I had to install it using sudo npm i -g npx
After installing npx then just need to run npx react-native run-android.
Be aware of npx before react-native run-android
Now you don't have any command react-native now we only have 'npx' and react-native run-android is just a parameter for npx. For ex. to start metro we should run npx react-native start
I had the same issues, so I followed these steps:
Start by installing the latest version of Android Studio (Don't delete the old version, just copy paste that to another directory or in my case I just added the Android Studio 3.2.1 that I had to a folder called olderAndroidStudio, on mac).
Make sure you don't click on import settings from Existing.
Follow along the installation, and complete it.
Build and Run, app runs without any problems.
I additionally uninstalled react-native-cli using the method given in the accepted answer.
In my case, I just quit Android Studio and reopened, and the error was gone.
Maybe throw in a ./gradlew clean for goo measure.
I solved it by finding the command that was throwing error and ran it directly
node -e "console.log(require('react-native/cli').bin)"
which outputs a path, something like
$HOME/my-app/node_modules/#react-native-community/cli/build/bin.js
then I pasted that path in android/app/build.gradle
project.ext.react = [
entryFile: "index.js",
enableHermes: true, // clean and rebuild if changing
cliPath: "$HOME/my-app/node_modules/#react-native-community/cli/build/bin.js" // <--- add this
]
So I'm opening my the existing React Native project. This is the procedure on how I opened my existing React Native project. 1st step, type the location of my project which is in the "D:\rnprojects\firstproject\". 2nd step, "react-native-start". 3rd step, I opened another cmd then locate it again into my project directory then typed "npm start".
Why when I created this project I didn't get this error just when runnning/opening my existing project.
This the error that I got: (with versions)
There is only simple steps can solve your particular scenario issue quickly.
1) Install the React native cli in your project or globally.
npm install -g react-native-cli
OR
npm install react-native --save
then start your project by using this command
npm start
If any dependencies issue please follow the second solution
2) Please make sure you're installed all dependence
yarn install
OR
npm install
under your project directory
I'm pretty sure your issue will fix by using 1st solution Thanks.
it is simple:
1.npm install
2.react-native run-android
Here I guess you have the RN environment to run already on your side.
cd path_to_project
install packages(there are two following ways to install packages).
2.1 yarn install
2.2 npm install
react-native link(optional - you need to run this command if existing project use RN packages which need to link such as
react-native-vector-icons)
optional(if project use pods) cd ios pod install
react-native run-ios or react-native run-android according to the platform which you want to run on.
I don't think above is perfect instruction give you how to run the existing react-native project, But I am pleasure if give me some hints or help to you.
You can find official guide here
Sometimes npm's cache gets confused and need to reset it by using below command:

And this is the node js error
So please help me, Thanks In Advance.
Try to follow the workarounds here : https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/4968.
Kill the bundler process, delete your modules folder, run npm install, rm -rf $TMPDIR/metro-cache-*, also rebuild your android project.
If this doesn't work, you can as well try to create your app using create-react-app toolchain which should be working fine : https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app .
This is a bug within Windows environment for React Native 0.56 you may need to upgrade/downgrade your React Native version. I encountered it, made even worse when I tried to use Typescript.
What I would is run a new project using the latest version 0.57 and just build, if it doesn't build straight away - then use 0.55 until the issue is resolved.
Try this solution, it was worked for me.
Steps to create New React Native project:
react-native init projectName (ProjectName: eg.HelloWorld)
cd HelloWorld
npm start
Open another node command prompt and goto the project path and then run your project with below given command.
react-native run-android
I think you missed 3rd step i.e to start npm.
And if you are again getting same error, follow these steps:
rm -rf node_modules && npm install
rm -rf /tmp/metro-bundler-cache-*
rm -rf /tmp/haste-map-react-native-packager-*
react-native run-android
I'm getting an error while I'm doing react-native run-android
error:
Command `start` unrecognized. Make sure that you have run `npm install` and that you are inside a react-native project.
Inside your root directory where package.json is placed along with other directories like android/ios, run the command npm install. Then run
react-native link (not compulsorily required, required in case there are third party libraries to be linked). Then run react-native run-android (supposing you don't have sdk path problem and you have an emulator running).
This is the most common way of starting a git project. Let me know if you face other problems.
