Why can't find package required on the "npm" registry

I have problems running my web app using this tutorial video React Native Web Full App Tutorial - Build a Workout App for iOS, Android, and Web in react-native. I've been searching a lot for an answer but there is no accurate one yet that solves my issue.

I downloaded the app from here: git repo.

Try to use:

$ yarn
$ yarn install
$ npm install
$ npm config set @icons:registry https://registry.npmjs.org/
$ rm -rf node_modules
$ npm i https://github.com/Qix-/node-error-ex
$ curl 'https://registry.yarnpkg.com/@types/node/-/node-9.4.2.tgz'

but nothing seems to work, I keep getting this error.

error Couldn't find package "@wow/[email protected]" required by "@wow/[email protected]" on the "npm" registry.
info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/install for documentation about this command.

    at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:97:5)

Or any steps I need to follow to run this app. Since I want to download the app and edit the body content.

for those who run into this error when using yarn workspaces, i was able to resolve this by adding a .yarnrc file with the following contents

//{your_registry}/:always-auth=true
registry=https://{your_registry}/

to each package and the root directory

You need to add this to your npmrc file (on /Users/:username)

always-auth=true

use npm login in terminal to login into your npm registry.

If you're using nvm

  • nvm install 14.18.0
  • nvm use 14.18.0

nvm alias default 14.18.0

I ran into the same problem here. And just as @Dmitry Grinko mentioned, it is related to .npmrc file.

I used private npm registry before so that some of package is missing.

Using following registry will pass the problem.

registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/

In my case, the reason was the .npmrc file.

You can rename this file

mv ~/.npmrc ~/.npmrc2

npx create-react-app my-app

and rename it back after the installation.

mv ~/.npmrc2 ~/.npmrc

after look on the git repo - i think that maybe you should try to run npm i (or other commands - im not from react native area) in any package(app,common,web) to itself - like I saw any one of them has package.json of his own

I tried to download and test it myself and it worked normally.

Clone it again and follow these steps: 

#After cloning enter the folder
cd react-native-web-series
#install all dependencies
yarn install
#Navigate to the web folder
cd packages/web
#start the app
yarn start

Ps. : If a project is using yarn is not a good ideia to run npm commands, do not mix those two
