I am trying to link react native with react native vector icons as shown in the docs https://reactnativeelements.com/docs/3.4.2/getting_started#install-react-native-vector-icons but it's throwing an error in my terminal of:

error Unrecognized command "link". info Run "react-native --help" to see a list of all available commands.

I am using a Git Bash terminal, I have tried using a PowerShell terminal and Command Prompt and nothing works. I have tried to google the answer and I see close but not the same problem. Can anyone please help me

It seems like link and unlink commands have been removed from react-native cli. You can rely on autolinking to complete your library installtion and react-native-vector-icons does support autolinking.

Please follow installation instructions directly from library README.md as documentation in other places might be outdated.
