‘react-native’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

When you cloned another react native project and try to run on your android device, you can use this command:

$ npx react-native run-android

But, if you not installed any dependencies you may get this error:

‘react-native’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

This error shows that react-native is not recognized because npm couldn’t found react-native in local project.

Solution

Install dependencies with yarn or npm:

npm install
