`npm install --save react-native` failed

I followed the instruction to install react-native on my macbook
http://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html

It seems like to use a ssh command to fetch repository, but my ssh key .ssh/id_rsa is not used for github, so I encounter an error:

git fetch -a origin (git://github.com/frantic/stacktrace-parser.git)
could you turn this fetch method to https://?
thanks a lot.

@carlgik4 - This wouldn't be related to your ssh config - it seems like your network is blocking the connection. You can try it on another network or create a fork of the project to get it working right away.

I'll take a look, thanks for reporting!

I have a similar problem inside office, and have a workaround (run in terminal) - git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://

Changing the package.json dep URL to frantic/stacktrace-parser#493c5e5638 should do the trick, or at least make this a general problem with npm instead of react.

Good call @ide, made a PR for that. Until then, @threepointone's workaround should fix this for anyone who has the issue!
