Hi,

I think it's was probably best to write in the create-react-native-app repo.

However I have tried in my development environment and I work.

MacOS
node -v v7.9.0
npm -v 4.2.0
react-native-cli: 2.0.1
react-native: 0.45.1

I found this: expo/create-react-native-app#233

It may be that it is not compatible with Node > 8.0 and/or npm > 5.0.1

[divyam3897]

yes, it's similar. Probably npm > 5.0.0 as expo/create-react-native-app#233 has 5.0.1 probably.

Try using npm 4. Agree that this is best opened in the CRNA repo.
