Cannot Start the Example

See original GitHub issue

Issue Description

I am trying to start the example as per the description:

git clone https://github.com/FaridSafi/react-native-gifted-chat
cd react-native-gifted-chat/example
npm install
react-native run-android

Expected Results

I receive the following error after npm install:

npm ERR! GiftedChat@0.0.1 postinstall: `yarn run clean:example; yarn run clean:babelrc`
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the GiftedChat@0.0.1 postinstall script.

If I continue past this point with react-native run-android, I receive the following error:

error: bundling failed: "Unable to resolve module `prop-types` from `C:\\Programming\\react-native-gifted-chat\\src\\GiftedChat.js`: Module does not exist in the module map\n\nThis might be related to https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/4968\nTo resolve try the following:\n  1. Clear watchman watches: `watchman watch-del-all`.\n  2. Delete the `node_modules` folder: `rm -rf node_modules && npm install`.\n  3. Reset packager cache: `rm -fr $TMPDIR/react-*` or `npm start -- --reset-cache`."

Thanks for the help!

I fixed mine, follow this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36119358/react-native-command-run-ios-unrecognized/36126924 So basically the problem is not the example, it’s that you need to run yarn install instead of npm install.

I have the same issue, and how it’s possible to the command yarn run clean:example; yarn run clean:babelrc works if it has a command before deleting everything, I’m new in js world, coming from python and I’m kind of lost here. I’m using the latest commit in master.

Manjaro 17.0.5 yarn 0.24.5 node v8.6.0 npm 5.5.1
