  • Welcome to StackOverflow! Please consider [not uploading images of code/errors when asking a question](//meta.stackoverflow.com/q/285551). Also your question looks similar to the following question, does that answer yours?

First make sure you are using the recommended version of nodejs, which is currently 16.13.1. For that you can use the n module :

// if you haven't istalled before 
sudo npm install n -g 
//to have the latest stable version
sudo n stable

Then delete all your preview installs with npm and start over. For expo-cli :

sudo npm uninstall --global expo-cli
sudo npm install --global expo-cli

  • What is your Nodejs version ? Tape `node -v` in your terminal to know. – yousoumar Jan 09 '22 at 10:22
  • You are not using the recommended stable version of `nodejs`, that may be why. I edited my answer, take a look. – yousoumar Jan 10 '22 at 06:46
  • this worked!!! thanks a lot – Monika Vurigity Jan 10 '22 at 10:20
