@davidxiaobj ,
It’s working fine on our side. Could you please try running yarn install or npx install before running npx gluestack-ui init and see if that resolves the issue?

I'm facing the same issue running pnpx dlx gluestack-ui init

■  Error occured in init. (Error: Command failed: npx expo install babel-plugin-module-resolver)

I'm using:

• macOS 26
• pnpm
• turbo monorepo
• expo 54.0.20

edit:
I also tried deleting all node_modules folders and pnpm-lock file and reinstalling all deps, but it didn't work
