react-native: react-native init stuck

When i make a project with

react-native init AwesomeProject --verbose

i have this message:

npm WARN react-native@0.33.0 requires a peer of react@~15.3.1 but none was installed.
npm verb exit [ 0, true ]
npm info ok

and then the process hangs there forever

in my project folder i have npm_modules folder and the file package.json like this:

{
  "name": "AwesomeProject",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js start"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "react-native": "0.33.0"
  }
}

if i try to

react-native run-ios

the process hangs from the beginning and writes nothing as output, not even an error

i’m on macOS react-native 0.33

I found the react-native script will run watchman sometimes. When I run watchman version It would hang.

After re-install watchman, everything is ok. rm -rf /usr/local/var/run/watchman/ && brew uninstall watchman && brew install watchman

rm -rf ~/.npm does not work for me neither… this begins to be frustrating…

Same issue on osx 10.11.6, rn 0.33.0.

Reboot after Security Update 2016-001 installed.

Above rm -rf ~/.npm does not work for me.

Can start old project and init new project IF running as root. Cannot start old project or init new project running as user.
