Expo error when trying to global install CLI after update












0















After I started Expo, I got the message I was running an a older version of the client and asked me to run npm install -g expo-cli , so I foolishly did.



After the install was finished I ran expo start and got the following question:



This command requires Expo CLI.
Do you want to install it globally [Y/n]?


To what I replied with: Y and got the following respond:



Installing the package 'expo-cli'...
events.js:167
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^

Error: spawn npm ENOENT
at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:229:19)
at onErrorNT (internal/child_process.js:406:16)
at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:63:19)
Emitted 'error' event at:
at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:235:12)
at onErrorNT (internal/child_process.js:406:16)
at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:63:19)


I've tried:



expo diagnostics


But am met with the same response.



Anyone knows how I can solve this problem?

            A quick around would be to remove expo and expo.cmd in node_modules/.bin since it seems to be using the expo in node_modules/.bin and not the global one.
