Getting an unexpected token when I try to install expo-cli or npx expo-cli -h
HerRA17 opened this issue · comments
Summary
I am new to expo and I am following steps from the course guide:
I want to know if it could be an issue regarding Windows and npm or npm & expo-cli.
I am using Powershell, node in Windows.
Environment
I started by:
nvm install 16.19.0
nvm use 16.19.0
Afterwards I tried with the following errors:
npm i -g expo-cli or even npx expo-cli -h as mentioned in the Docs.
Please specify your device/emulator/simulator platform, model and version
Powershell, windows 11
Error output
npm ERR! Unexpected token '.'
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:

Reproducible demo or steps to reproduce from a blank project
I am not really sure what I could provide extra to emulate the issue.
Hi @HerRA17! Unfortunately, the expo-cli has been deprecated for some time now. We've migrated towards the CLI shipped within expo (versioned CLI).
You should be able to create a new project through npm|yarn create expo ./my-app, without the deprecated expo-cli 😄 Then, starting would be npm|yarn start or npm|yarn expo start.
Hope this helps!
