NativeBase: When native-based is installed, expo prints the following error: "Error: React native is not installed. Please run `npm install` in your project directory."

Summary

• I have created a new expo project. When I install native-base using npm and I am trying to reopen the project in expo, I get the following message:

Error: React native is not installed. Please run `npm install` in your project directory.

Running npm install doesn’t solve the problem. Using yarn instead of npm doesn’t solve the problem.

Environment

Running expo on windows 10

package.json

{
  "name": "my-new-project",
  "main": "node_modules/expo/AppEntry.js",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "start": "expo start",

    "react-navigation": "^2.9.3"
  },

Expected behaviour

To open the project in expo without errors

Actual behaviour

See in summary above

In addition, when I run npm install native-based --save, I get the following messages:
