React Native expo init command failed












2















I wanted to follow this tutorial (https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html) to start learning react-native.



I followed the first steps and I ran into some issues on the command line: expo init AwesomeProject



Here's the log :



PS C:UsersANTDreact_native> expo init AwesomeProject2
? Choose a template: blank
[09:06:11] Extracting project files...
Process exited with non-zero code: 2
ERROR: C:UsersANTD.expostarter-app-cacheblank-31.0.0.tar.gz

[09:06:11] Set EXPO_DEBUG=true in your env to view the stack trace.


I searched on the github page and on forums but didn't find info on this.
I also tried this :



deleted files in .expo folder
npm -g uninstall expo-cli --save
npm install -g expo-cli@latest


But same issue.



blank-31.0.0.tar.gz file is empty with only html tags.
Might be the issue but I don't know what to do...



Thanks

Same issue here, seems like a network problem to me.



I dug into the source code of expo-cli, found the download link for the template:






"templatesv2": [
{
"description": "The Blank project template includes the minimum dependencies to run and an empty root component.",
"iconUrl": "https://d306o6r76fnu7o.cloudfront.net/template_icon_blank.png",
"id": "blank",
"name": "Blank",
"url": "https://d306o6r76fnu7o.cloudfront.net/blank-31.0.0.tar.gz",
"version": "31.0.0"
},
{
"description": "The Tab Navigation project template includes several example screens.",
"iconUrl": "https://d306o6r76fnu7o.cloudfront.net/template_icon_tabs.png",
"id": "tabs",
"name": "Tab Navigation",
"url": "https://d306o6r76fnu7o.cloudfront.net/tabs-31.0.0.tar.gz",
"version": "31.0.0"
}
],


So I manually download the file and unzip, cd into it and run expo start... and got stuck for about 20 minutes.



After I lost my patience and pressed Ctrl+C to kill this process, then I tried npm run android and it worked!



I also tried npm start afterwards, and it seems to work too.
