The solution for windows 10 users

All has to do with your environment setup in windows 10 you need to

• had WSL install in your machin here is the documentation to install
• once you have WSL 2 you can open you project then open the Ubuntu (wsl) terminal
  • to check if you have WSL 2 installed you can run the following command in your powershell wsl -l -v
• in the WSL terminal open visual studio with the command code . this will open you project in the WSL environment which will prevent you from having problems with permission denial in Windows
• install node.js in WSL 2
• install NVM in WSL 2 the commands are

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash
source ~/.bashrc
nvm install --lts
nvm use --lts

is important to install this in WSL at the same time to have it in your machine

• once you have NVM you will put in the terminal the following command nvm install 18 this will install node v18+ this is importa because is the version expo use from now (2024)
• then use nvm use 18 to use node v18+
• also i don't know if was part of the solution but install adb in WSL you can use the following commands

sudo apt install adb
sudo apt install google-android-platform-tools-installer

• then use adb to see if you have adb correctly install in you WSL too
• other step that I use was to setup correctly the environment for react native please follow the documentation steps

and now you can run

npx create-expo-module@latest and-the-name-of-your-module
