Could someone please help me with this issue. I am facing this and nothing has helped till now. I have tried different versions of node, npm. And also reinstalling these as well as the react-native-cli. My projects which I was able to build successfully earlier are not running either, nor are fresh projects.

hey could you solve it ?
if you did please share your solution.

[shreyasnisal]

No. Turns out that I had to make a lot of changes to my OS, and when I ran it again, it was working fine. I don't think this would solve the error, but are you using a windows machine with spaces in your user account name?
