I keep getting error when attempting to install Video component. I am typing in: `npm install --save react-native-video

npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.

did anyone else run into the problem? Above are the errors. says npm not being able to find file path? Confused because i am install the video component in the same folder i did the npm install package.

I was able to install it with no issues, what was the stack trace you received when you tried to install the library?

I would run npm config ls and make sure you are pointing to the correct registry. Also, are you behind a proxy?

Maybe you could try the following and seeing if it helps resolve your issue:

  1. npm cache clean --force
  2. npm config set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/
  3. npm i react-native-video

Hopefully that helps!

Thanks. It is pointing to the correct registry. The npm i react-native-video cmd installed the package. but now im getting and error when adding the <Video /> component. the error says: TypeError: undefined is not an object(evaluating 'u.NativeModeules.UIManager.RCTVideo.Constants'
Did you import the newly download library? Something like: import Video from 'react-native-video'; Usually, undefined is because the object wasn't properly instantiated. Try following the usage example listed for the lib: npmjs.com/package/react-native-video
