Just remember to npm uninstall -g react-native-cli and yarn global add @react-native-community/cli so you have new features during starting a new project

Can you try adding the --ignore-existing flag?

npx --ignore-existing react-native init MyApp --template react-native-template-typescript

@Kennytian maybe you also need run yarn global remove react-native-cli

After uninstalling the old cli

npm uninstall -g react-native-cli

and install the new one

npm i -g @react-native-community/cli

and upgrade node

npm install -g npm@latest

the template created smoothly

@emin93 Thanks for your reply, npx --ignore-existing react-native init MyApp --template react-native-template-typescript it’s work.

Thanks all the same @KingAmo @PeterKow @radko93 @MateusAndrade !

Best solution I found

Remove

npm uninstall -g react-native-cli

Create the folder where the project will be

mkdir [folder name] && cd [folder name]

Install the dependencies and everything will work

yarn init
yarn add react-native
yarn react-native init [Project Name] ...

This works for me 🎉

npx react-native init ProjectName --npm

Thank you so much, @carlosstenzel. Your solution was the only one that worked for me.

Can you try adding the --ignore-existing flag?

npx --ignore-existing react-native init MyApp --template react-native-template-typescript

thanks for your reply! It worked for me!

My journey was from getting-started to https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-template-typescript/issues/80#issuecomment-536175565 to https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-template-typescript/issues/80#issuecomment-536419979 for a successful basic setup, glad we have this thread 😅

After I upgraded to yarn version 1.21.1, this problem has been resolved.

@emin93 your solution works for me! Thanks!

Just tested it here without any global package related to react-native cli on the global packages and it returns a similar error:

Removing module react-native-template-react-native-template-typescript...
error This module isn't specified in a package.json file.
info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/remove for documentation about this command.
warn Failed to clean up template temp files in node_modules/react-native-template-react-native-template-typescript. This is not a critical error, you can work on your app.

Tested with: npx react-native init MyApp --template react-native-template-typescript and npx react-native init MyApp --template react-native-template-typescript@6.2.0

in my case I had to reset yarn yarn set version 1.22.1 my yarn version was 3.2.0

In my case after uninstalling the CLI, I also had to update the node version to 16.14.0 to work properly

Try update yarn. Run curl --compressed -o- -L https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash It helped me

Running the following command -

npx react-native init app --template react-native-template-typescript@6.2.0

Which is being introduced in the official React Native website here (substituted MyTSProject with app)

Results in the same output as above.

@PeterKow 's answer solved this issue

@GreatAuk yeah you can check on npm https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-cli

@GreatAuk you can always install the old CLI again if anything bad happens. But I think it should be fine.

npm install -g react-native-cli still download old CLI, not https://github.com/react-native-community/cli ?

Confirm, I’ve run in the same issue in the end ✖ Copying template error RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

Then just end up installing RN and adding TS manually as in here -> https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/typescript

Sorry for late reply
