Can't install "react native cli" globally by using git bash

When I type in "npm install -g react-native-cli" at git bash I get following errors:

npm ERR! cb() never called!

npm ERR! This is an error with npm itself. Please report this error at: npm ERR! https://github.com/npm/npm/issues

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in: npm ERR! C:\Users\TOSHIBA İ5\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache_logs\2017-10-19T04_04_05_774Z-debug.log

I have already installed npm and added it's directory to PATH variable and when i type "which npm" at git bash it shows the directory so there is no problem about the installation of npm. But it still gives these errors and I am stuck.

Note: I am following the instructions on https://shift.infinite.red/getting-started-with-react-native-development-on-windows-90d85a72ae65

This could happen in some npm old versions. Make sure you are using an updated one.

npm install -g npm

Some linux distros have old versions of npm and node on their packages and you need to install it manually.

Edit: I just saw you have windows. Nevermind, still the old version could be a problem.
