I am trying to create a simple app for Android with ReactNative on Windows 10, but when i call

after installing react-native package I got an error:

C:\Users\Вячеслав\Documents\ReactNative>react-native init AwesomeProject2

I have NodeJs v5.0.0 and npm v3.3.6.

I tried to do steps from here:

https://gist.github.com/davidgilbertson/9bee68548037fe00f2a8

but they did not help me:(((

a feeling that NodeJs can not understand the syntax of ES6, but I don't know why

How can I fix this?

sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable

worked for me as it installs latest version of Node.js

This is an issue with having non-ASCII characters in your project path. When this happens, babel does not normalize the paths for require() calls correctly, and the babel-register functionality fails.

Long story short, the problem will be fixed with this pull request: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/10154
