I wanted to do the run:android command but found out that the expo-cli version I have is NOT compatible to install the expo SDK version that's required to run the run:android command; the SDK version required is 41 and above.
The expo-cli needed to have the SDKs of 41 and above is 4.4.1, which I've been trying to install but it didn't work well. After typing the command, the install process begins and everything seems to be installed as usual as in other packages. But when checking the version of the cli, it gives the same version as it was beforehand.
Why does this happen?
The last attempt was to uninstall and install it back again. Here are the commands and their results:
$ npm -g uninstall expo-cli$ npm install -g --force expo-cli
npm WARN using --force I sure hope you know what you are doing.
