Am I supposed to wait on "Loading dependency graph ..."

@juniorthelb Here are a couple of things you could try:

  • Install Node with nvm and set it to be your default version of Node. If you installed Node with the installer from nodejs.org I’d recommend removing it. In the past at least, that copy of Node required running sudo to install global modules. I find that using nvm or Homebrew’s versions of Node are easier to work with.
  • If you use nvm, make sure that it’s set up to run each time you open a new shell. For example, if you open a new terminal window and run which node, you should get something like /Users/you/.nvm/versions/node/v8.8.1/bin/node.
  • Try using Yarn instead of npm.
  • Delete node_modules and run yarn to install them again. Once things are in a working state, commit yarn.lock to Git/Mercurial/whatever.
  • Install Watchman on your computer with brew install watchman.
  • Clear several caches related to the React Native packager, instructions here.
