I'm new to react native and im trying to start my first project using android studio. I followed the instructions in "Setting up the development environment" of react native and finally built my project using
npx react-native init AwesomeProject
then I opened my project in android studio to start the AVD but gradle throws following error
:ReactNative:Running '[node, -e, console.log(require('react-native/cli').bin);]' command failed.
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
Where: Script '/home/deadshot/Documents/playground/AwesomeProject/node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-android/native_modules.gradle' line: 179
What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating script.
Cannot run program "node" (in directory "/home/deadshot/Documents/playground/AwesomeProject/android"): error=2, No such file or directory
