I am not able to run the sample react Native AwesomeProject project.
Can anyone help? Below is the details.
C:\Users\dip\AwesomeProject>react-native run-android 'yarn' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Scanning 557 folders for symlinks in C:\Users\dip\AwesomeProject\node_mo ules (31ms)

Building and installing the app on the device (cd android && gradlew.bat instal Debug)...
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object
Could not install the app on the device, read the error above for details. Make sure you have an Android emulator running or a device connected and have set up your Android development environment:

Yarn is a tool created by facebook as an efficient alternative for npm. In your case.. it is just informing that Yarn is not installed in your system. It is not the culprit.
The problem lies in Error occurred during initialization of VM java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object Could not install the app on the device line. It looks like an error with the Java installation.
Solution: Go to C:\Windows\System32 directory and delete java.exe (or rename it to something like java.exe.old)

btw you can install Yarn by typing npm install -g yarn in your command prompt.
