React-Native Is Not Recognized As An Internal Or External Command New update

The error message “react-native is not recognized as an internal or external command” is usually seen when you try to execute the “react-native” command in your command prompt or terminal, but the command is not found in your system’s PATH.

Here are some steps you can follow to resolve this issue:

1. Make sure you have installed React Native and all its dependencies properly. You can follow the official React Native installation guide for your platform: https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup
2. Once you have installed React Native, make sure you have opened a new terminal or command prompt window, so that the changes to your system’s PATH take effect.
3. Check if the “react-native” command is available in your PATH by typing “react-native” in your terminal or command prompt. If the command is not found, then you need to add the path to the React Native binary directory to your system’s PATH.
4. To add the path to the React Native binary directory to your system’s PATH, you can follow these steps:
   • Find the location of the React Native binary directory. On Windows, it is usually located in “C:\Users{your-username}\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\tools\bin” or “C:\Users{your-username}\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\react-native\cli”. On macOS or Linux, it is usually located in “/usr/local/bin”.
   • Add the path to the React Native binary directory to your system’s PATH. On Windows, you can do this by opening the “Environment Variables” dialog box, and adding the path to the “Path” variable. On macOS or Linux, you can do this by adding the path to the “.bash_profile” or “.bashrc” file in your home directory.
5. Once you have added the path to the React Native binary directory to your system’s PATH, restart your terminal or command prompt, and try running the “react-native” command again. It should now be recognized as a valid command.

If you still encounter issues after following these steps, you may want to double-check your installation or consult the official React Native documentation for further troubleshooting steps.
