Answer 1

I was having the same problem with npm install -g expo-cli, having "MODULE_NOT_FOUND",

I installed yarm with brew, just in case you do not already have it:

brew install yarn

and then use:

yarn global add expo-cli

to create a project you can:

expo init nameOfTheNewProject

and choose a template in the console. Finally run the project with

yarn start

Let me know if it works for you!

Answer 2

1.run "npm update -g" update all npm global packages.

2.run "yarn add global expo-cli"

3.uninstall exop cli > clean npm cache folder, .expo folder install install again

Answer 3

Delete these files ['expo.ps1' , 'expo-cli.ps1'] in this path:

'C:\Users{Username}\AppData\Roaming\npm'

then run:

npm i -g expo-cli
