After downloaded the expo native react extension, I attempted to link the two profiles together with the code provided by expo native react, then it was stated to do so with in the directory . I attempted to navigate to direct and it repeatedly states unable to do this due to too many arguments, how am I able to to navigate to the directory? I followed the file path directly at the top of vs and then at the top of the computer file drive path where the directory is stored.

    Thanks for reaching out!

     

    1. Check Command Format: Make sure that the command you are using to navigate the directory does not have any extra arguments that might cause the "too many arguments" error. For example, if you are using the Command Prompt, the correct command to navigate would be cd path\to\your\directory.
    2. Use the Right Terminal: If you're using Visual Studio's terminal, ensure it's set up correctly to run the commands necessary for React Native. You might want to try using a different terminal (like PowerShell or Command Prompt) if you're encountering issues in Visual Studio’s integrated terminal.
    3. Running Commands within Project Directory: Ensure you are in the correct project directory when trying to execute the linking command. You can do this by checking your current directory with the command pwd (in PowerShell) or cd (in Command Prompt).
    4. Use Full Path: Sometimes specifying the full path of the directory can help avoid errors. Try using the complete path to navigate or link.
    5. React Native CLI: If the Expo commands are giving you issues, you might want to verify your React Native CLI setup and make sure that your project is properly initialized. You can do this by running react-native info to check for any configuration issues.
