I'm trying to create a react-native app using "react-native init" but its throwing the below error. I have created apps before but it suddenly started to throw this error when i tried to create a new app

ERROR: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'add'

I tried to do npm start, react-native start. and deleted the node_modules and re-installed it.

As mentioned here

First, run sudo apt remove cmdtest before installing yarn with sudo apt install yarn or

You need to follow the installation instructions on the website https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/ and add a repo first. This will then include the correct yarn, and if a conflict occurs then for correcting run following command:

sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" install yarn

I too got a similar error with this("node_modules/execa/index.js") file. I resolved my error using the 2 commands given below

npm uninstall -g react-native-cli

yarn global add @react-native-community/cli
