Ubuntu – Error: Could not find npm package 'expo-template-default@latest' when creating a new Expo app

I am trying to create a new Expo app using npx create-expo-app@latest on my Ubuntu system, but I keep encountering an error. Here are the steps I followed and the error message I received:

  1. Ran the command:
    npx create-expo-app@latest

  2. Provided the name for my app:
    ✔ What is your app named? … app1

  3. Encountered the following error:
    ✖ Something went wrong in downloading and extracting the project files: Could not find npm package "expo-template-default@latest"
    Error: Could not find npm package "expo-template-default@latest"

System Information

  • OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
  • Node.js Version: 20.13.1
  • npm Version: 10.8.0

I am looking for a solution to resolve the error with npx create-expo-app@latest as it is the preferred method for setting up new projects in my workflow. Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I’ve fixed this error by specifying the template URL from github

    Run:

    npx create-expo-app@latest app-name --template https://github.com/expo/expo-template-default
