Please help, I am new to React-Native. I was able to build project and after brew update I am stuck with this and unable to proceed further.

In the official docs there is a Getting Started guide with a section on the React Native CLI. The command to install it is:

npm install -g react-native-cli

It also includes additional info in case that command fails:

If you get an error like Cannot find module 'npmlog', try installing npm directly: curl -0 -L https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sudo sh.
