react-native link fails on realm

I have next versions of react-native / react-native-cli:

react-native-cli: 2.0.1  
react-native: 0.47.2

After installing realm with 

npm install --save realm

I'm getting an error

Next part was solved, was left in case it will help to solve the entire problem < solved part begin

If I run

react-native link

or 

react-native link realm

I'm getting an error:

I'm still getting an error about realm constructor, even after successful link command What's wrong and is there any workaround?

I can not start the new project with realm as well - same error.

Solution

  • I finally found an issue and my problem was in lack of understanding RN and Expo. As my project was created using create-react-native-app, my project initially was attached to expo. To use Realm, I had to detach.
