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
]
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.
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.
Have you run 'npm install' (without parameters) in the project directory? That'll install the dependencies for your project.
Details here: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v6/commands/npm-install
1.Try to install globally npm install -g react-native-cli 2.add path of npm module (C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Roaming\npm) to system variables instead of user variables
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:
npm cache clean --force
Also try below command:
npm install --save-dev react-native-cli
Hope it will help you.
I recently started with react-native. I install it using the tutorial on the Facebook site and everything works well for a day or two until this message comes up:
'react-native' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Nothing works except uninstalling everything and starting all over again. The environments are ok and work (npm, choco, etc.). I have also tried removing and adding react-native to environment variables, restarting, and running cmd in administrator mode, but nothing so far. I should add that I use windows 10 64-bit.
I had the same issue and tried the following but didnt work
Adding npm path to my Environment variables; both system and user
Re install npm and react-native-cli
Both didn't work for me, im using Windows 10;
Solution that worked for me is to install react-native-cli globally
You can install it globally by using the below command:
npm install -g react-native-cli
You can simply use npx react-native <command> it will work
npm install -g react-native-cli
But dont forget to restart command promprt
Your system or user environment PATH variable was edited, you can uninstall NodeJs and install it again or add the below path to the end of PATH variable into user variables the restart the Windows :
C:\Users\[USER-NAME]\AppData\Roaming\npm
this should work.
You need to setup the npm path in your environment variables. Please look at the images down below
Then follow the command : for installing -g ( global ) for cli in your system
npm install -g react-native-cli
I get the same error right off the bat on Windows 10 running in cmd window in adminstrator mode, however there is also a bash shell version of react-native that worked for me in a git bash window.
cmd:----------------------------------------------
C:\Users\David\Documents\react>where react-native
C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\npm\react-native
C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\npm\react-native.cmd
C:\Users\David\Documents\react>react-native init AwesomeProject
'react-native' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
git bash:----------------------------------------
David#CYBER-PC ~/Documents/react
$ react-native init AwesomeProject
This will walk you through creating a new React Native project in c:\Users\David\Documents\react\AwesomeProject
Installing react-native package from npm...
Setting up new React Native app in c:\Users\David\Documents\react\AwesomeProject
AwesomeProject#0.0.1 c:\Users\David\Documents\react\AwesomeProject`-- react#15.3.1
To run your app on iOS:
cd c:\Users\David\Documents\react\AwesomeProject
react-native run-ios
- or -
Open c:\Users\David\Documents\react\AwesomeProject\ios\AwesomeProject.xcodeproj in Xcode
Hit the Run button
To run your app on Android:
Have an Android emulator running (quickest way to get started), or a device connected
cd c:\Users\David\Documents\react\AwesomeProject
react-native run-android
npm install -g react-native-cli
I had to add the %APPDATA%\npm folder to my PATH on Windows 10. Global modules are installed there.
If uninstalling and installing again the npm did not work on you, try adding %APPDATA%\npm to path (Environment variables) then quick reboot/restart. System Reboot should really be part of the process. This worked on my end.
Install :
npm install -g react-native-cli
Uninstall :
npm uninstall -g react-native-cli
If you are following the getting started guide for Windows/Android, they recommend installing nodejs via Chocolatey. But Chocolatey likes to have administrator rights when it installs things. If you're just a regular user, this seems to interfere with how npm installs react-native-cli. In my case, the react-native command was only recognized when I launched a command prompt as admin.
What I did to fix:
launched command prompt as admin
uninstalled react-native-cli globally: npm uninstall -g react-native-cli
uninstalled nodejs via Chocolatey: choco uninstall nodejs
Now, as a regular user without admin rights:
installed nodejs via the nodejs website (not Chocolatey)
installed react-native-cli globally: npm install -g react-native-cli
I uninstalled node.js and then reinstalled it, and it worked like a charm
just uninstall the node.js and reinstall it..
then install the cli package typing command
npm install -g react-native-cli..
now you are ready to make your project.
To make project open a folder from your drive wherever your folder is located.
Then type command
react-native init albums
it will create a project for you inside your directory.
None of the above mentioned solutions worked for me. What did work was to remove nodejs, and reinstall it via Chocolatey with the following command:
PS > choco install -y nodejs.install python2 jdk8
> npm install -g react-native-cli
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\npm\react-native ->
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\react-native-cli\index.js
+ react-native-cli#2.0.1
added 41 packages from 15 contributors in 4.528s
I had this problem also becuase I restored my files from a previous OS installation. My problem was a wrong prefix in my C:\Users\user_name\.npmrc file.
Run npm config list and make sure that all your npm config variables are leading to the correct file paths. Delete the .npmrc file if you want have it to go back to the defaults. That's what I did and react-native command is working for me again.
I hope this helps.
i have no clear idea but below steps worked for me.
delete Node Modules
Uninstall react-native cli. This is Recommended in the react-native Documentation
"If you previously installed a global react-native-cli package, please remove it as it may cause unexpected issues."
npm uninstall -g react-native-cli
clean gradlew. in your project folder, go to the android folder by typing cd android
and run gradlew clean
move back to your project folder cd .., then run
npx react-native run-android
these steps worked for me. took some time when running first time.
use node.js stable version or recommended version.
On window 10, nodejs>11 global node libraries seems to be installed in C:\Users\your_user_name.npm-global. So you need to set the variable to point to that path
I had problems because of this strange mistake.
I checked to see if it was globally loaded again
I didn't delete all packages
I even deleted C:\Users[USER-NAME]\AppData\Roaming\ npm manually, but there was no solution.
The only thing that is the solution is to use the current version of node.js.
uninstall nodejs completely(restart your pc) and reinstall it using chocolatey and follow other commands from https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.
worked perfectly fine for me!
Even if you have installed react-native globally and still get the same try adding path of npm module (C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Roaming\npm) to system variables instead of user variables.
I know it's too late, anyway
Make sure you've added the path of the NPM in system variable rather than user variable in the System Environment Variables.
PATH : C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\npm
Open a the command prompt and type: npm config list:
Get the path underlined in red and add it your system path (change two back slashes into one), for example: C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Roaming\npm.
This solved the issue for me
I just wrote "react-native -v" to console to check have I still react-native and then just I wrote "react-native run-android" again and this time it worked. Yes just that. React native is terrible technology.
Looks like I have uninstalled react native cli by mistake, I tried all answers mentioned above, but the below command worked for me.
npx react-native run-android.
Solution
I was facing 'react-native' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file error when I was running react-native start in VsCode.
I Solved it by running npm install -g react-native-cli in PowerShell
Steps to follow
run PowerShell as admin (important step)
run running npm install -g react-native-cli in PowerShell
close VsCode and rerun it
that's all!
I solve this problem by running
npm install -g react-native-cli
then another error appears
Command run-android unrecognized.
I fixed this error by
npm install
Use npx before your command
npx react-native
Not just
react-native
if you faced the same issue as me just type :
npm i react-native
then try to create a new project as its recommended by the react native doc by typing :
npx react-native init yourProjectName
this should resolve your problem
hope this was helpful
I have two different ReactNative-Projects:
a) a project from januar 2016
b) a complete new react-native project
from now (march 20th 2016)
Within the new project the cli tool of react-native contains the command "run-ios" next two "run-android", but not on the older project from januar 2016. On the older one there is not "run-ios" command available:
$ react-native run-ios
Command `run-ios` unrecognized
Usage: react-native <command>
I already ran "react-native upgrade" without any issues.
How can i get the command "run-ios" also in older projects?
Just update the version of react native in your project with the following command:
$> npm install --save react-native#latest
What caused this for me was running npm install --save [package] when actually the system has previously been using yarn instead of npm.
To solve this I just deleted the node_modules folder and ran: yarn install and after that react-native run-ios (or android) works fine.
$ react-native run-ios
If you get this kinda error:
"Command run-ios unrecognized. Make sure that you have run npm
install and that you are inside a react-native project".
In terminal, make sure you are inside a react-native project directory.
Execute this cmd:
$ react-native -v
react-native-cli: 2.0.1
react-native: n/a - not inside a React Native project directory
$ npm update
$ react-native -v
react-native-cli: 2.0.1
react-native: 0.44.0
$ react-native run-ios
This may sound silly, but make sure you cd to your project directory. If that fails then perform the npm install in the other answers.
I found a solution that works for me.
Update the version of react native in your project:
npm install --save react-native#latest
then upgrade your npm version
npm i npm#latest -g
then move directory folder 1 level up, type
cd ..
make a new react-native installation folder
react-native init NewProject
then go to your project folder(NewProject), after that
react-native run-ios
should work fine.
This happens when the project has an older version of react native. You can update the react version or for people who do not want to upgrade, just open the .xcodeproj file in iOS dir and hit the play button in the Xcode.
In my case, it was an issue with the package.json file. I deleted a section during a test. I recover a previous file with the deleted section and everything was working again.
this works for me
sudo npm install -g react-native-cli --force
then
react-native run-ios
In my case, I am using monorepo with multiple packages in a single repo. I solved this error by
Deleting the packages/myapp/node_modules
running yarn install from the project root. Not inside packages
its solved. Now can run yarn ios or yarn android commands
Note:
For autolinking libraries you need to have all of your dependencies in root package.json file also copied to packages/myapp/package.json file. See https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/blob/master/docs/autolinking.md#how-can-i-use-autolinking-in-a-monorepo
Example:
"dependencies": {
"#react-native-community/datetimepicker": "^3.5.2",
"#react-native-community/masked-view": "^0.1.11",
"#react-navigation/native": "^5.9.4",
"#react-navigation/stack": "^5.14.5",
"#reduxjs/toolkit": "^1.6.0",
"#voximplant/react-native-foreground-service": "^2.0.0",
"axios": "^0.21.1",
"babel-eslint": "^10.0.3",
"eslint-config-airbnb": "^18.0.1",
"eslint-plugin-import": "^2.18.2",
...
...
but make sure NOT TO COPY
"react-native-cli": "^any version",
otherwise react-native-cli would collide and you will continue to see error like
Command `run-android` unrecognized. Make sure that you have run `npm install` and that you are inside a react-native project.
error Command failed with exit code 1.
or
Command `run-ios` unrecognized. Make sure that you have run `npm install` and that you are inside a react-native project.
error Command failed with exit code 1.
I created a brand new react-native project using
$ react-native init projectName
and ran from root of the project
$ react-native run-ios
Everything worked fine and iOS simulator fired up as expected.
Than I installed prop-types node module using npm install prop-types --save. Re-ran $ react-native run-ios and ran into this error Command run-ios unrecognized
Solution:
From the root of my project, removed node_module and re-installed modules using npm. Commands below
$ rm -rf node_modules/
$ npm install
$ react-native run-ios
For me, Xcode was already running.
Close the Xcode and then in the terminal, make sure you are inside a react-native project directory and then execute react-native run-ios command
For me, the only thing that worked was to checkout again my repository from zero and run:
npm install -g react-native-cli yarn
yarn
git submodule update --init --recursive
What caused this for me was running npm install --save axios when actually the system was previously using yarn instead of npm.
To solve this, instead of deleting the node_modules folder, which can lead to more problems, and if you prefer to run npm anyway or don't have a preference either way, the error should have instructed for you to run npm install. If you literally follow those instructions, you will be able to run: react-native run-ios afterwards.
I also fell in this error and the reason was
I was using yarn link command in wrong folder
Delete the node-modules. Its because the packages are not installed.
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
then run your project
react-native run-ios
