Hello, I’m new to Expo.
In my Shell I’m running
expo init {project name}
and selecting “tabs”. Files are generated just fine. Now I change my Shell directory to my project and run
npm start
After the QR code shows I pick up my Android phone and load Expo, load my project. It fails. The terminal window says:

I’ve not touched any files, shouldn’t this just run with no adjustments?
If you need information please tell me the terminal command to type, I’m pretty new to using the terminal.
(on a side not, using init and choosing blank runs just fine.)
