Issue creating new React Native Project: Error running install script for optional dependency: fsevents: Command failed.

See original GitHub issue

I am getting the following: I think it has something to do with python, as I was just fiddling with my python env but can’t figure it out:

Using react-native init Project

❯ yarn --version
1.16.0

❯ node --version
v10.15.2

❯ python --version
Python 2.7.16

❯ which python
/usr/local/bin/python
