yarn install worked but directory where yarn puts executables for packages is not added to your PATH. If you add it there it should work.

If you want to go with npm, I would strongly recommend to never run npm install with sudo. Use tools like nvm or volta. It will install node, npm and all other packages in your home directory, it should solve all issues with permissions without giving access to your entire system.

Try avoiding the global npm install with npx expo-cli

Alternatively, try sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm expo-cli to install the package globally through root. This seems to be a common error with Ubuntu, more information can be found here: https://github.com/expo/expo-cli/issues/591
