You can follow react-navigation documentation(react navigation). Also, ensure that you have installed the required libraries.

yarn add @react-navigation/native react-native-screens react-native-safe-area-context

If you have npm use this:

npm install -save @react-navigation/native react-native-screens react-native-safe-area-context

Install above libraries and then install stack navigation.

yarn add @react-navigation/stack

for npm:

npm install --save @react-navigation/stack
