I tried to create a React Native project using the following command:
npx react-native init myApp
but it fails with the following error:
/home/toufik/node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-doctor/build/commands/doctor.js:127

I installed NPM with the command sudo apt-get install npm and I think there shouldn't be any problem with this.
My environment:
From the 0.72 React Native setup instructions:
Node
Follow the installation instructions for your Linux distribution to install Node 16 or newer.
I recommend using nvm to install node to get the latest versions, etc.
