Need to install the exact version of node, npm, and expo that were used to create the project.

Example: saying "npm i -g expo-cli" will never work, there are too many things changing all the time - need to install the version of expo-cli that were used to create the project.

npm i -g expo-cli

Hi, where you able to get this project to work?

[asloan7]

I know a little bit more now about JS frameworks, and have installed a bunch more stuff for other projects, and now it works.

But "npm install expo" in the frontend folder breaks

I think the exact version can be found in the package.json file: "expo": "~42.0.3",
