To avoid unnecessary responses npm uninstall react-native-cli -g has been already done.

rncli-init-template-rVvcjE from the file path mentioned above does not even exist and I am not sure why. Thanks, everybody for help in advance I am new to stack overflow I have only been programming competitively so far. No stranger to algorithms but for cross-platform development frameworks, I'm a newbie.

If i have not provided enough information, please do ask :) sorry again, help a newbie out. — SuperPopayko

Try to init with yarn. Yarn has a better performance than npm (link July 2019).

Install yarn first

npm install -g yarn

Install react-native-cli. If don't work try with sudo.

yarn global add react-native-cli

Create yout project

react-native init myapp

I am seeing the exact same issue. If i do "npm install -g react-native-cli" I am then able to init an app using "npx react-native init MyApp" however i then have later issues in my app and SO answers say you should not have a global version of "react-native-cli"

first uninstall your nodejs using nodejs setup(the same version you have installed)
reboot your computer (optional)
after all install again nodejs (nodejs.org/en/download/) and all will be fine.

I get this problem because I was playing with node files (npm to be more specific). 😅
