I followed the tutorial in the link here https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html#content . As it turns out, npm 5 is not supported yet. I tried installing npm 4 but, it is not working either. Stuck in the first page of the tutorial, when I run npm start, I am getting a bunch of errors too. Literally stuck, nowhere else to turn. Before voting down the question, kindly note that I am a mobile developer working with andorid and Ios having no previous knowledge about web technologies. Thanks
These are the steps I followed
npm install -g create-react-native-app
It was successfull, then,
create-react-native-app AwesomeProject
for this line, I got the following error
*******************************************************************************
ERROR: npm 5 is not supported yet
*******************************************************************************
It looks like you're using npm 5 which was recently released.
Create React Native App doesn't work with npm 5 yet, unfortunately. We
recommend using npm 4 or yarn until some bugs are resolved.
You can follow the known issues with npm 5 at:
https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/16991

Then I ran the command
cd AwesomeProject
Afterwards I ran
npm start
for which I got the error
npm ERR! missing script: start
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! /home/jayakrishnan/.npm/_logs/2017-07-25T08_13_06_277Z-debug.log
I tried using Yarn But didnt work
