There are currently two CLIs:

  • @react-native-community/cli – the one used directly by react-native. That makes it a transitive dependency of your project.
  • react-native-cli – an optional global convenience package, which is a proxy to @react-native-community/cli and global installation helper.

The global version is no longer recommended

  • npx executes either from a local node_modules/.bin, or from a central cache, installing any packages needed in order for to run.
  • When you run npx ... it picks up the cli package that is part of your project dependency
