There are couple of ways to initialize new React Native projects.

```sh
npx react-native@latest init ProjectName
npx react-native-community/cli@latest init ProjectName
```

> Note: If you have both `yarn` and `npm` installed on your machine, React Native CLI will always try to use `npm`. You can force usage of `yarn` by adding `--pm yarn` flag to the command.
