'Expo Cannot Find Module after reinstall
I'm having issues getting expo to start. It tries to open dev tools and dev tools will not open and gives me this error:
Cannot find module 'C:\Users\charl\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\expo-
cli\node_modules\@expo\image-utils\build\index.js'. Please verify that the
package.json has a valid "main" entry

This is for a react-native application, using NPM, Node, a Windows 10 machine.
I've tried reinstalling expo with npm and yarn, but i cant get it to work. I looked and saw in the package.json file the 'main' key has a value of 'node_modules/expo/AppEntry.js'. Before this happened i was having trouble with expo that it told me that expo cant be recognized so i messed around with environment variables until it worked. Now this. Thank you guys for any help

Try running
npm install -g expo-cli --force

Was having this same issue when using Windows Powershell or CMD.exe. Was able to get passed it by using Git Bash. Try running npm install -g expo-cli from a MINGW64 terminal (ex: Git Bash)

- "node_modules" folder copy/paste from C:\Users\charl.npm-global to C:\Users\charl\AppData\Roaming\npm\
- npm i

I had the same problem. I sort out using two step
first download the Git Bash and installed it , once it was installed open as administrator and wrote the code
npm install -g expo-cli --force
