Global Expo CLI The global Expo CLI expo-cli was succeeded by the local CLI @expo/cli in SDK 46. This documentation contains info on the now deprecated expo-cli package.
If you're using a project that is SDK 46 or higher, see Expo CLI .
The legacy Expo CLI can be installed as a global npm package on your development machine. To download and install it, run the following command:
- npm install -g expo-cli
Not versioning the CLI with your project lowers backwards compatibility, and makes it harder to use your project in continuous environments like GitHub Actions. To combat this, we moved to using a versioned CLI in SDK 46.
To check the current version of the global Expo CLI you are using, use the --version option.
You can view the list of commands available with your version in your terminal using the --help option.
To learn more about a specific command and the options it may have, use expo [command] --help.

In Expo SDK 46, we migrated to a new suite of tooling that is versioned in the expo package. Below is a migration guide showing where the legacy expo-cli commands live now.
Legacy expo-cli will be in maintenance mode and continue to work while we migrate to the new tooling.

Dev Tools UI has been deprecated in favor of the CLI's Terminal UI, Flipper, and Remote Debugging.
npx expo install now supports installing the correct version of react-native, react, react-dom automatically.Tooling now supports pnpm along with Yarn and npm, the default is still Yarn.
Dropped the deprecated --config argument across all commands. Use app.config.js instead.
No longer shipping adb in the CLI. Users must manually install adb to interact with connected Android devices.
Experimental $EXPO_USE_APPLE_DEVICE feature (expo run:ios -d) is now the default behavior. Global ios-deploy package is no longer required.
npx expo export works like expo export --experimental-bundle which is exports for eas update and not expo publish. PR .
Dropped arguments: --public-url, --asset-url, --merge-src-url, --merge-src-dir, -t, --target, --experimental-bundle, --config, -q, --quiet
Dropped aliases for --dump-assetmap (-d) and --dump-sourcemap (-s).
Dropped warning about clearing dist folder that is shown between runs, this is akin to all other bundler commands across web tooling.
Dropped all merging code because experimental bundle does not support index files so we don't need to support merging index files.
Dropped the quiet flag as this appears to do nothing anymore.
Parts of expo upgrade have been merged into npx expo install via the --fix and --check flags. PR .
expo doctor has been deprecated in favor of npx expo-doctor for projects using SDK 46 and higher.Dropped unused generated .exprc, .expo/packager-info.json files.
Dropped all deprecated support for *.expo.js files.
Reduced usage of .expo/settings.json to provide a more sandboxed state between processes.
Dropped $XDL_PORT, $XDL_HOST, $XDL_SCHEME, $SERVER_URL in favor of $EXPO_STAGING and $EXPO_LOCAL environment variables.
