REACT NATIVE setup failed : "react-native init" doesn't work

I try desperately to install react-native on my computer for 3 days, but it still doesn’t work…
I read a lot : docs, forums, but nothing worked for me.

I am a real beginner, I probably missed something obvious, but I can’t figure it out by myself.
This is why I am here, begging for help :/

I use WINDOWS 10

Here are my actions.

I followed instructions from : https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup?guide=native

I installed Node JS : node-v18.16.1-x64.msi
I installed VS Code : VSCodeUserSetup-x64-1.80.1.exe
I installed Android Studio : android-studio-2022.2.1.20-windows.exe

With latest version :

• Android SDK Platform 34
• Android SDK Build-Tools 34 (build-tools;34.0.0)

I let the default Sdk path, even if my Windows user name is not ideal (space in it)
C:UsersA&T CORPETAppDataLocalAndroidSdk
(I first tried to install it on C:AndroidSdk, but it didn’t work either)

On Android Studio, I added the following Sdk/Tools:

• Android SDK Build-Tools 33 (build-tools;33.0.0)
• Google APIs Intel x86_64 Atom System Image (system-images;android-33;google_apis;x86_64)
• Android SDK Platform 33 (platforms;android-33)
• Sources for Android 33 (sources;android-33)
• Android SDK Command-line Tools (latest) (cmdline-tools;latest)

I added the env : ANDROID_HOME = C:UsersA&T CORPETAppDataLocalAndroidSdk
And added %LOCALAPPDATA%AndroidSdkplatform-tools to Path
(I verified that LOCALAPPDATA = C:UsersA&T CORPETAppDataLocal)

I created a new empty folder : S:DocumentsPROGRAMMATIONMy_FirstProject
I dropped this folder into VSCode to create a new project

Now in VSCode Powershell, I run: npx react-native@latest init AwesomeProject

PS S:DocumentsPROGRAMMATIONMy_FirstProject> npx react-native@latest init AwesomeProject
npm notice

So I run the command in notice : npm install -g [email protected]

PS S:DocumentsPROGRAMMATIONMy_FirstProject> npm install -g [email protected]

added 1 package in 7s

  run npm fund for details

Then I rerun the initial command : npx react-native@latest init AwesomeProject

PS S:DocumentsPROGRAMMATIONMy_FirstProject> npx react-native@latest init AwesomeProject

Node.js v18.16.1

I don’t now what to do.
Could it be related to my "A&T Corpet" user name ?
I wish I had created it without space and this &, but it is too late now, I have to deal with…

(I already uninstall / re-einstall everything, situation seems to be worse now)

If any of you has an idea, please let me know !
Thank you for reading me.
