Getting error while installing npm

Question

I have installed node through brew install node, Node has been installed but after running:

npm install -g create-react-native-app

npm is showing the following error:

module.js:487

   throw err;
   ^

Error: Cannot find module '../lib/utils/unsupported.js'

I run 'npm install -g create-react-native-app' and got this error. — Vishal

Try installing yarn.

brew install yarn

yarn global add npm

npm --version

Hope that works.

Alternatively, uninstalling node/npm then reinstalling it seems to also work.
