Use are using

react-native init

to create the project, right?

Otherwise, make sure it's in your PATH. See the following:

-bash: react-native: command not found

  • You'll need to double check the location of react-native. What do you get when you run react-native? Command not found?

  • yeah still Command not found. I tried to reset my path and reinstall everything. My new path is: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/share/npm/bin. How do I check where react-native is?
