This was driving me wild so here’s my solution.

I’m a little fixated with running “sudo” in front of anything that doesn’t work the first time.

I DID THAT WITH SUDO …

Don’t be me lol

Problem:
The permissions were set incorrectly on install for some reason (it was root not “Kiwami”)

Solution:
Uninstall Expo (Yes.. Most likely with sudo)
Re-Install Expo without sudo

npm uninstall -g expo-cli
npm install -g expo-cli

That’s it! … Kinda

 

SO There’s a huge chance you might end up with “Error: EACCESS” Permission denoted, access..” something something

That’s because those files are associated with the user “root” (trust me.. they are)

Figure out who owns the director (just in case i’m wrong lol)

ls -la /copy/directory/name/belazy

and change owner with (yes.. with sudo) to yours

sudo chown -R yourusername /copy/directory/name/behappy

 

And..  Done!

 

Hope this helped someone ..
