-bash: react-native command not found - bash

Question

I'm trying to run a new react native project but I'm getting the same problem over and over:
-bash: react-native: command not found.
I tried to solve the problem trough other post like this: react-native: command not found
But I'm still getting the same error.
I followed all the steps provided by the React Native page (https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started), and I ended up with these info:
1 npm -version 6.4.1
2 brew -version Homebrew 2.1.1
3 brew info watchman stable 4.9.0
4 brew info node stable 12.1.0
5 echo $PATH:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/Users/(myname)/Library/Android/sdk/emulator:/Users/(myname)/Library/Android/sdk/tools:/Users/(myname)/Library/Android/sdk/tools/bin:/Users/(myname)/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools:/Users/(myname)/Library/Android/sdk/tools/bin
if I type in: npm install -g react-native-cli
I get:
/Users/(myname)/.npm-global/bin/react-native -> /Users/(myname)/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/react-native-cli/index.js
+ react-native-cli#2.0.1

command not found means exactly that - the command you tried to execute (react-native) isn't found in any of the directories listed in your PATH variable.
Figure out where react-native is installed and either call it with a full path to the executable or add the directory to your PATH.
Based on this from your question:
5 echo $PATH:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/Users/(myname)/Library/Android/sdk/emulator:/Users/(myname)/Library/Android/sdk/tools:/Users/(myname)/Library/Android/sdk/tools/bin:/Users/(myname)/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools:/Users/(myname)/Library/Android/sdk/tools/bin
My best guess is that during installation you were following instructions that said to put (myname) somewhere and you literally entered the string (myname) instead of entering your actual login name.
