Failed at the node@8.16.1 preinstall script. npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

I found the solution just run it in your user folder because it does not respond when you ran it in a different directory other than maybe C:\Users\User_Name

update node to the latest LTS version as the documentation suggests. you can download that from https://nodejs.org/en/download/

nodejs 8 is not supported

Hey guys, npm install -g expo-cli --force Thanks for solution, it works for me but if it doesn’t work for anyone in here, try to type expo start instead of yarn or npm start. Also this worked for me too.

Thanks!
