@vivekananda_kalidind I don’t believe we support node 12

Welcome to the community @vivekananda_kalidind,

The error message indicates you need to have git installed in order to fetch the node-addon-api installation dependency:

74 error code ENOENT
75 error syscall spawn git
76 error path git
77 error errno ENOENT
78 error enoent Error while executing:
78 error enoent undefined ls-remote -h -t https://github.com/blagoev/node-addon-api.git
78 error enoent
78 error enoent
78 error enoent spawn git ENOENT
79 error enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.

The node-addon-api package is part of support for modern versions of Node via N-API, but I don’t see any callout for the git prerequisite in the installation instructions. I’ll follow-up with a GitHub issue for this if there isn’t one already.

Realm React Native currently supports Node 10 or higher.

Regards,
Stennie
