You can do it like this:

please check this guide https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started

Answer 3

This seems to work.

react-native init --version="0.36.0" MyNewApp

Check the comment on this link :).

Answer 4

react-native init newApp --version 0.62.0

Answer 5

Version and Template

Currently, I'm having problems with the 0.60.0 version so for doing this with version and typescript it goes like this:

react-native init ProjectName --version="0.59.9" --template="typescript"

This has 2 unwanted side effects:

1. devDependencies will be the latest but the dependencies will be the chosen, this will work anyway after...
2. You will get a react-native/libraries/NewAppScreen error, go to App.tsx and replace all of that for something simple like a <View style={{flex:1,backgroundColor:'orange'}}> so you can see it running

Answer 6

npx react-native init YOURPROJECTNAME --version X.XX.X
