react-native init hangs without any error output

[jarnanchen]

After I do react-native init AwesomeProject,it just hangs at This will walk you through creating a new React Native project in /Users/jarnanchen/repo/AwesomeProject, with the slash spinning around for more than 20 minutes. Tried several times and the results are the same.

When I run the init command, it will hangs after the output below when without sudo.

npm WARN react-native@0.27.0-rc2 requires a peer of react@15.1.0 but none was installed.
npm verb exit [ 0, true ]
npm info ok

But when I run with sudo,it will be successed,don't konw why. The next output is:

China:

cd $HOME
wget https://cdn.npm.taobao.org/react-native/-/react-native-0.32.0.tgz #example
react-native init AwesomeProject --version ~/react-native-0.32.0.tgz

Other country:

cd $HOME
wget https://registry.npmjs.org/react-native/-/react-native-0.32.0.tgz #example
react-native init AwesomeProject --version ~/react-native-0.32.0.tgz

Still having the issue today. NYC Windows 10 node.js v4.4.5 npm 3.5.2

[jefe-spain]

Still have this issue, It hangs in

react-native@0.33.0` requires a peer of react@~15.3.1 but none was installed.
npm verb exit [ 0, true ]
npm info ok

And It stay like that forever.

npm 3.10.7
node 6.2.1

Any ideas please?`

@jefe-spain i have the same issue have you resolved it yet?.. here's the issue link #9943

[wietsevenema]

Hanging after npm info ok seems to be caused by watchman. Just chiming in here to report the workaround documented in #9943 works.

[rcugut]

I had react-native hang for a different reason => watchman . On my Mac, I had to:

rm -rf /usr/local/run/watchman/*

to clear whatever watchman had leftover, that was making it hang w/o any output. And along with it, it got react-native to hang:

https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/9ee815f6b52e0c2417c04e5a05e1e31df26daed2/packager/react-packager/src/node-haste/FileWatcher/index.js#L20

Maybe this helps anyone. It took me almost one hour to debug this ...

probably related: #2797

Seeing as some people are still having trouble, I found that using Yarn sped upreact-native init tremendously. I've had it download successfully in as little as 10 seconds and at most 2 minutes.

Here's a little guide on how to use react-native with yarn. http://kryptonik.net/2016/10/how-to-use-react-native-with-yarn/

[SinaKarimi7]

First you should download and install latest node.js installer from here then open cmd on Administrator and run:

npm install -g react-native-cli

Good lock :)

I was having issue with the command react-native run-ios

Got it running by just using the sudo with the command. :) 👍
