React Native error : 'react-native' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

I have been using React-Native for a project it's been more than a month, to create the app I uninstalled the react-native-cli and followed what is described in the official docs (https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup). Yesterday, I modified an existing project (from github) and run :

I had some errors so I updated npm, everything worked fine. I restarted my computer and tried to create a new app using the following command:

This is the error that I get: 'react-native' is not recognized as an internal or external command...

I uninstalled Node and installed the newest version (16.0.0) with npm version (7.11.2) and npx version (7.11.2).

Can someone please help me with this?

i think you need to install react native cli but first Add npm path to your Environment variables; both system and user then install npm and react-native cli. and if that does not work,Solution is to install react-native-cli globally You can install it globally by using the below command:

npm install -g react-native-cli
