Unfortunately same thing happens when I downloaded react-native-template-typescript, unpacked it into folder and called npx react-native init my_project --template file:///home/user/workspace/my_project/react-native-template-typescript-master --npm or without --npm :(

I had the same problem couple weeks ago. I think this has to do that, as far as I know, the TS template doesn't support the different React Native CLI versions (see here).

Use next tag of TS template for now:

npx react-native init MyApp --template react-native-template-typescript@next
