Cannot start the program

Hi guys this is what Im getting as an error when trying to start the application Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/Users/gabriela/.babel.json' at Object.fs.openSync (fs.js:646:18) at Object.fs.writeFileSync (fs.js:1291:33) at save (/Users/gabriela/Desktop/ReactNative/stage2v1/node_modules/babel-register/lib/cache.js:48:16) at _combinedTickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:131:7) at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:180:9) at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:686:11) at startup (bootstrap_node.js:187:16) at bootstrap_node.js:608:3 npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR! errno 1 npm ERR! reactnative_brandybergh@0.0.1 start: node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js start npm ERR! Exit status 1 npm ERR! npm ERR! Failed at the reactnative_brandybergh@0.0.1 start script. npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in: npm ERR! /Users/gabriela/.npm/_logs/2018-01-11T21_02_50_367Z-debug.log

I tried to change the permission to that .babel.json file but i cannot find it in the directory that its supposed to be if thats the mistake. But otherwise I have no idea how to fix that.

Try 'sudo npm install react-native-cli' in the terminal of your specific app folder (stage2v1 or whatever) - that worked for me when I had a similar error. Let me know, will be interesting to see if it works!

Have the same problem, unfortunately cli didn't do it for me. I have no problem running other React Native Programs... bummer...
