FWIW, I did run into this issue myself when I tried to name my app with a name that started with a number: “5guys” made my ignite install unhappy

Solved (for my case) I removed the react-native directory from /Users/ffolivi/npm_packages then ignite new app in my workdir

Thank you @skellock !!!

I resolved this issue by upgrade node to 11.8.0 or 10.15.0. If you use nvm: nvm install 11.8.0 If you use n: n 11.8.0

Do you have node_modules in any of the following places by any chance?

/Users/ffolivi/Documents/projects/2017/iginite
