How can I fix this?

Answer 1

I just had this problem. I solved it like this:
I was using old Node version with NVM. I changed to the last node version
nvm use 12.x.x
with nvm and updated:
yarn global add expo-cli
but, you need run
npm install expo-cli --global
for npm. After that, I changed back to the old version:
nvm use 10.x.x
and ran
yarn start
or
npm start
This solved the issue.

Answer 2

I had that problem. I installed yarn and then ran the command "yarn add expo".
