CodePudding user response：

That is error is from the new version 0.69.0 You can use npx react-native init ProjectName --version 0.68.2 and then upgrade to v 0.69 later.

CodePudding user response：

Need to clean global environments with following commands:

yarn global remove react-native

yarn global remove react-native-cli

npm uninstall -g react-native

npm uninstall -g react-native-cli

check that nothing related to react-native presents in these lists:

yarn global list, npm -g list

then you can run:

npx react-native init ProjectName
