Can't install react-native-cli after following tutorial

Before reading and following the tutorial in NPM I installed the react-native-cli globally and it worked just fine

But in the tutorial it asks you to install sinopia

https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-cli

Then it gives you these instructions

react-native$ npm set registry http://localhost:4873/
react-native$ npm adduser --registry http://localhost:4873/
# Check that it worked:
react-native$ npm config list
react-native$ npm unpublish --force
react-native$ npm publish
react-native$ cd react-native-cli/
react-native-cli$ npm unpublish --force
react-native-cli$ npm publish

But the unpublish part gave me an error. the same for the 'publish' aprt.

(By the way, publish what?!)

Then it says to uninstall react-native-cli

npm uninstall -g react-native-cli

After that I couldn't reinstall react-native-cli.

It says the package is not available.

npm ERR! 404 no such package available : react-native-cli

npm ERR! 404

npm ERR! 404 'react-native-cli' is not in the npm registry.

What is this?! How can I fix it?

@edit

By the way, I don't understand why, in the Get Started tutorial it doesn't tell us how to install the react-native-cli nor gives us a link. It just states:

The React Native CLI #

Node.js comes with npm, which lets you install the React Native command line interface.

@edit2

I just managed to install react-native-cli by removing the 'registry' entry from npm config, installing it and adding Sinopia again.

I thought Sinopia worked as a proxy. If it is not found in local repository, it looks for it in NPMJS...

I even tried to install other things and I could (wdio, nodemon), I just got an error with react-native-cli.

It seems that something is wrong.

Seems like you on Windows

I don't think you need sinopia.

Tutorials was little improved on master branch of the docs: http://facebook.github.io/react-native/releases/next/docs/getting-started.html

In short:

  1. Install node.js
  2. Install react-native-cli: npm install react-native-cli
  3. Install & setup Android SDK
  4. Create & run project
    • react-native init AwesomeProject
    • cd AwesomeProject
    • react-native start
    • react-native run-android
