how did I do it?
1) copied the tutorialProject to the working folder
2) opened VS code
3) went to the working folder and clicked open the tutorialProject folder in cmd
4) then I enter react-native run-android
and get a fiasco

d:\JS\tutorialProject>react-native init tutorialProject
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:657
throw err;
^
Error: Cannot find module 'graceful-fs'

I started googling and found that I need to make some dependencies ... using "react-native init MyProject"
5) react-native init tutorialProject
and I get the same line ...
I try to launch the server through npm and it's funny ...
6) npm intall

d:\JS\tutorialProject>npm install

Answer 1

As an option, to start with, install react-native-cli globally and generally follow the recommended steps from the official documentation for windows.
If it doesn’t take off already google and look at problems with dependencies.

Answer 2

Sometimes even the author will not be able to launch his old project without rewriting the code. Change dependencies to current ones. Correct errors in the code.
