I’m getting the same error on a Mac.
I have a number of projects that have been working just fine, but now I cant start any of them or create a new project.
I wanted to have a clean start with the new cli so did a new install:
sudo npm install -g expo-cli
My errors are:
Kelvins-iMac:~ kelvinaitken$ sudo npm install -g expo-cli
