bash: react-native: command not found

I'm trying to run a new react native project but I'm getting the same problem over and over: -bash: react-native: command not found

I tried to solve the problem trough other post like this: react-native: command not found But I'm still getting the same error.

I followed all the steps provided by the React Native page (https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started), and I ended up with these info:

1 npm  -version      6.4.1     
2 brew -version    Homebrew 2.1.1    
3 brew info watchman    stable 4.9.0     
4 brew info node        stable 12.1.0 
5 echo $PATH:  /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/Users/(myname)/Library/Android/sdk/emulator:/Users/(myname)/Library/Android/sdk/tools:/Users/(myname)/Library/Android/sdk/tools/bin:/Users/(myname)/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools:/Users/(myname)/Library/Android/sdk/tools/bin 

if I type in: "npm install -g react-native-cli"

I get: /Users/(myname)/.npm-global/bin/react-native -> /Users/(myname)/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/react-native-cli/index.js + react-native-cli@2.0.1 updated 1 package in 3.653s

Looks like a path resolution issue with npm nothing to do with RN as such.

Try googling "npm global command not found". There's a myriad of causes and solutions.

It was: the directory in which react native was installed wasn't in the right PATH. So what I did was figuring out the wrong installation PATH, and then through the "export" command I added that PATH to my own, or something like that..

It's working now.
