I have tried with npm using and it worked.

npx react-native init YourAwesomeProject --npm

After that I have uninstalled yarn completely. Because you can install libraries using npm. So I have removed the yarn using

npm uninstall -g yarn

this worked but can you please explain how? What is the difference between having this flag '--npm' and not having this.

You can try:

Remove the global react-native CLI: npm uninstall -g react-native-cli or yarn global remove react-native-cli
And run again npx react-native init YourAwesomeProject

or
Run npx react-native-cli init YourAwesomeProject

I never saw this type of error before. Since the other alternatives didn't work, try to install the react native CLI globally: yarn global add react-native-cli or npm i -g react-native-cli and run react-native init AwesomeProject

surely you have your root a file or folder .yarn/ package.json package-lock.json

Remove them and try again rm -rf .yarn/ package.json .yarn/ package-lock.json

I don't know why, but appending --npm fixed it. Never had to do that before.
