Syntaxerror: Unexpected Token React-native Init

Hello I am getting an issue when trying to run react-native init. SyntaxError: Unexpected token ... /Users/jordan/Projects/React/LiveInstagram/node_modules/metro-bundler/build/lib/

Solution 1:

There are compatibility issues in the updated react-native cli. Using the downgraded version solves this problem. $ react-native init [project name] --version 0.38.0

Solution 2:

Currently it works for me with node v8. My solution:

sudo npm install -g npm
sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable

Solution 3:

So I completely uninstalled Node then reinstalled it and react-native-cli and it worked correctly.

Solution 4:

I had the same problem with nodejs v4, solve this by updating nodejs and npm. sudo purge nodejs npm curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash - sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
