Packager isn't working for my hello world

Description

I’m trying to start a new app following the readme steps. But npm start is taking too long.

I never used npm before, just saying. My guess it’s some dependence is missing, I even tried npm install -g react with no success (npm start keeps taking too long). I’m lost here.

Expected Behavior

Since it’s the very first time I’m trying to run this, I don’t really know what should be happening here.

Observed Behavior

npm start

InfoBusUFRN-App@0.1.0 start /home/mazuh/Projects/InfoBusUFRN-App react-native-scripts start 6:00:04 PM: Starting packager… 6:42:37 PM: Stopping packager… 6:42:37 PM: Packager stopped.

Environment

Please run these commands in the project folder and fill in their results:

@Mazuh you should try @Brejw15’s solution. You can refer to https://github.com/react-community/create-react-native-app/issues/234. Those command tells if the system is capable of tracking your files for any changes. Watchman need those commands. Also refer https://facebook.github.io/watchman/docs/install.html#system-specific-preparation
