Please make sure, that you have git installed. NPM requires git for installing some of the packages. You can check if git is installed via:

git --version

If so, according to the reported issue, removing and reinstalling node_modules should help:

rm -rf node_modules && npm install

You can also try to resolve the issue with yarn:

brew install yarn
npm uninstall -g create-react-native-app
yarn global add create-react-native-app
