Hey does anyone had the error "the system cannot find the path specified" when running the command create-react-native-app my-app, i have node 8.9.1 and npm 5.5.1, just to notice that create-react-app works perfectly with all the rest of the npm commands, it seems that the installation goes well npm install -g create-react-native-app so if anyone has any idea it would be helpful because i couldnt fix it, Thanks !
node version: 8.9.1 npm version : 5.5.1 windows 10 x64
This was happened to me as same.
Finally I tried with Windows Power Shell(x86) & it is working for fine. But the same time with command prompt it still says "The system cannot find the path specified".
With using windows power shell I continue my work. Hope my comment will help for you.
Find out what directory create-reactive-native-app was installed to after you ran
npm install -g create-react-native-app
and add it to your path variable. When I ran the above in Command I got this output:
C:\Users\user>npm install -g create-react-native-app
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\npm\create-react-native-app ->
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\create-react-native-app\build\index.js
So apparently it was installed to C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\npm, so I added it to the path by typing in Command:
path = %path%;C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\npm
After this I had no issues using:
create-react-native-app MyApp
uninstall create-react-app by using this command and then run npx create-react-app appname. it will work
