issues running `npx react-native init <NAME>

I recently wiped my harddrive and upgraded my MacOS to Catalina. Now running on zsh for the first time. I installed Homebrew and then node v12.14.1, which I can confirm when I run node --version. When I try to initialize a React-Native app with npx react-native init, I get the following error:

Command failed: '/usr/local/Cellar/node@12/12.14.1_1/bin/node' '/usr/local/Cellar/node@12/12.14.1_1/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js' config get cache --parseable

Any advice?

I was successfully able to run npx react-native init <PROJECT> by uninstalling and reinstalling Node with nvm instead of brew. Apparently installing with nvm allows for greater flexibility.

Start from the top and make sure you’ve installed all the necessary components https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started
