From V0.69, React-Native stopped supporting global installation of react-native-cli. If you try to run npx react-native init MyProject command, it will throw TypeError: cli.init is not a function error. To resolve this issue, you need to initialize your project with specific react-native version.
Solution with Code Example
npx react-native init MyProject --version 0.68.2
This will initialize your project on version 0.68.2.
If you want to use the latest cli version, then first you will need to uninstall any globally installed react-native or react-native-cli using this –
yarn global remove react-native yarn global remove react-native-cli npm uninstall -g react-native npm uninstall -g react-native-cli
Then, there is no need to install anything. Just use npx like this –
npx react-native init MyProject
