React-native@0.26.3 requires a peer of react@15.0.2 but none was installed

Question

I am trying to set up for the react native. but whenever I update files it gives m error

    enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open \'React Native/packa         


        

Answer 1

In my case, the project I am working on requires a specific version of React. Since it was older than the current release, doing an install/update would still cause the error.

In order to fix the problem, I had to check the package.json of the project and install the exact version allowed by the dependency definition. In the OP's case, a

npm install react@15.0.2

should fix the problem by installing the exact version of the React module that react-native requires.

Verify that the condition was resolved by doing a npm list to see if there are any other unmet peer dependencies.

Answer 2

In my specific case I was running npm install in the wrong directory. I thought I was in my project directory but was one level higher. This meant react was missing from installed packages (because there were none) and thus gave this error.

Answer 3

Some steps that worked for me:

1. watchman watch-del-all
2. rm -rf node_modules
3. npm install react@15.0.2 --save
4. npm install react@15.1.0 --save
5. npm install
6. rm -fr $TMPDIR/react-*
7. npm start -- --reset-cache

Answer 4

Installing react should fix the error

npm install react --save

Also, you may try upgrading your react-native install. react-native is as v0.30.0 now

npm update react-native
