react-native: npm start doesn't work after upgrade to 0.15.0

npm start stopped working after upgrading to React-Native 0.15.0 yielding:

> AwesomeProject@0.0.1 start Dev/tmp/AwesomeProject
> react-native start

Looks like you installed react-native globally, maybe you meant react-native-cli?
To fix the issue, run:
npm uninstall -g react-native
npm install -g react-native-cli

Output of npm -g list --depth=0:

/usr/local/lib
├── bower@1.6.5
├── grunt-cli@0.1.13
├── npm@3.5.0
└── react-native-cli@0.1.7

Output of npm list --depth=0:

AwesomeProject@0.0.1 Dev/tmp/AwesomeProject
└── react-native@0.16.0-rc

To be noted, using react-native start works as expected, which make me think this is a npm bug but I’m not sure on how to get started.

Try adding react-native-cli to your (dev) dependencies.

Something went fishy with today’s build. I had to: npm un react-native-cli and npm i react-native-cli FYI for others.

@GantMan same thing happened to me too. Reinstalling react-native-cli once you update react-native solves the problem as you mentioned.
