How to run a react native program on android 10 in termux

I want to do both programming and running apps on my Android. So I am trying out termux. I have a working react native program that I wrote on Ubuntu.

I opened termux navigated to the program folder and did npm install. This is the output:

$ npm install
npm ERR! code EPERM
npm ERR! syscall symlink
npm ERR! path ../@babel/parser/bin/babel-parser.js
npm ERR! dest /storage/emulated/0/lightBag_ExpoVersion2/node_modules/.bin/parser
npm ERR! errno -1
npm ERR! Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, symlink '../@babel/parser/bin/babel-parser.js' -> '/storage/emulated/0/lightBag_ExpoVersion2/node_modules/.bin/parser'
npm ERR!  [Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, symlink '../@babel/parser/bin/babel-parser.js' -> '/storage/emulated/0/lightBag_ExpoVersion2/node_modules/.bin/parser'] {

npm ERR! }

You cannot create symlinks in internal storage. You have three options: [1] use the --no-bin-link option. It works most of the time. [2] move your project to termux data folder. Here, termux has more permissions like symlink, chmod etc [3] root your phone and give termux superuser permissions. But this would be a complete overkill. I do not recommend it.

I think is npm install --no-bin-link
