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.

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
]
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?
I have no error in my project. But the build not successfully load. see the below image. for more details for error. I am using the below command to run the build react-native run-android but the npm failed to create the build. this image directory exists and I give the correct path for images. Thanks in advance.
-root
--assets
---images
---- All Images here.
../../assets/images/sky-img.jpg use this in code.
Just closing and re-opening the cmd terminal or whatever you are using to run the metro bundler worked for me.
Just reset the cache of your Metro Bundler with:
npm start -- --reset-cache
This is happening because the bundler needs to refresh it's existing bundles and the path you previously set.
Make sure you run the command from the root directory and not from android directory.
android> cd..
project> npx react-native run-android --variant=release
When I run react-native link on my RN project, I got below error:
$ react-native link
rnpm-install ERR! ERRPACKAGEJSON No package found. Are you sure it's a React Native project?
Cannot read property '_text' of undefined
I have searched that some people say run react-native upgrade will resolve this issue. I have tried but no lock. My react version is shown as below:
$ react-native --version
react-native-cli: 2.0.1
react-native: 0.39.2
How can I solve this issue?
Follow below steps in order -
npm cache clean or yarn cache clean
rm -rf node_modules
yarn install or npm install
react-native upgrade ( You can choose no in all steps)
react-native link
If you get permission related error use sudo with all commands.
A little late but this may help someone else. My problem was large commented out copies of <manifest> ... </manifest> in android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml. Once I removed commented out copies, link worked as expected.
It seems xmldoc had touble parsing the manifest even though the AndroidManifest.xml was valid XML. Calling react-native link uses ../node_modules/react-native/local-cli/core/android/index.js. To debug such issues in future I would start with putting debugging statements in ../node_modules/react-native/local-cli/core/android/index.js and narrow down to the root cause of the issue. Similar logic should work for ios.
For me cleaning the gradle did the trick.
1- Go to the root directory of the project.
2- Run cd android
3- Run gradlew clean
4- Run cd..
and then run the link commands
i had this problem. i fixed it with following way:
1- edit "/android/app/src/debug/AndroidManifest.xml"
2- add package="com.YOUR PACKAGE NAME" inline manifest tag. like:
<manifest package="com.YOUR PACKAGE NAME"
note: replace "YOUR PACKAGE NAME" with your package. you can find it in "/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml"
3- cd android
4- ./gradlew clean
5- cd ../
6- react-native link
try to go android -> src -> main -> AndroidManifest.xml and delete all comments here. After that rerun react-native link, and all is working for me. Good luck!
