@migueldaipre do you happen to have react-native or the CLI installed globally?

None at all, but running npx react-native@0.75.0-rc.2 init AwesomeProject --version 0.75.0-rc.2 it's work.

It seems to me that the problem is with the npm next tag.

This is how the command behaves on my machine:

@migueldaipre could you try to delete this folder:

rm -rf ~/.npm/_npx

and try again? I have the suspect this is due to the CLI previously registering a binary called react-native that now is missing.

It's worked.

1. rm -rf ~/.npm/_npx
2. npx react-native@next init RN75 --version next

Thank you @cortinico 🎉

So what's happening is you already have in your cache some version that satisfies the "@next" constraint, let's say you test a previous RC so npx won't fetch the 'latest' @next but will use your cache. So nuking the cache is a way to fix it, or using an explicit "@0.75.0-rc.X" will also work.

"@latest" seems to work as it will always fetch the latest version but it's probably an edge case
