npx create-react-library does not finish executing

[damiensedgwick]

After running npx create-react-library and filling out the prompts, the cli proceeds to install the dependancies but it never actually finishes executing. See attached screenshot of my terminal, I had to control+c to get it to finish.

If I then go into the project and run yarn or npm i it installs the dependancies as expected.

I am on a macbook pro (m1) running Big Sur 11.4

Same problem for me also on an M1

Same problem for me. If I switch to npm it does finish but with an error: Error: Command failed with exit code 127: npm install

I figured out that the problem is happening when the example project is being installed. Hope this helps!

npm ERR! code 127
npm ERR! path /Users/freddiemixell/repos/modal-router/node_modules/typescript
npm ERR! command failed
npm ERR! command sh -c gulp build-eslint-rules
npm ERR! sh: gulp: command not found

What is the solution for this?

[kyuhyunhan]

try open example/package.json and replace typescript's version in dependencies("file:../node_modules/typescript") to the one in root package.json
