it looks like you may be using an old version of create-expo-module. npx is pretty janky when it comes to caching. i recommend running npx create-expo-module@latest to ensure you get the latest version. yarn create expo-module is much more reliable. let me know if this doesn’t fix the issue for you

Still having the same issue on this.

Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS

npm --version
9.6.4

yarn --version
3.5.0

node --version
v18.15.0

Did anyone find a way to fix that issue ?

I have gotten a headache from this error but I finally figured out how to make it work Solution: You can run npx create-expo-module from the WSL (just open Linux shell in your desired location).
