For mac users (linux should be very similar):
Find your expo-cli version:
which expo-cli
For me it yielded:
/Users/username/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/.bin/expo-cli
Remove this outdated version:
rm -rf /Users/username/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/.bin/expo-cli
Check that you are using the latest version:
expo-cli --version

Build and run the native apps locally: npx expo run:ios and npx expo run:android. Install and update packages that work with the version of react-native in your project: npx expo install package-name.

Updating expo-cli globally can be a right pain. To those experiencing this frustration, use yarn
yarn global add expo-cli
it will give you far fewer headaches

r/expo on Reddit: How do I upgrade to the versioned Expo CLI?
April 18, 2023 -
I'm having trouble running a dev build with expo-notifications. Whenever I use it I get the following error: Cannot read property __expo_module_name__ of undefined.
So digging around on google I found some posts that suggest some library or version incompatibility which is why I was checking my expo version. expo --versionreturns WARNING: The legacy expo-cli does not support Node +17. Migrate to the versioned Expo CLI (npx expo). 6.3.2
Could this be the cause for the error? How can I upgrade to the version Expo CLI?
As I'm a beginner I appreciate all the help I can get, thank you!
edit. updated my understanding a little, please correct me if I'm wrong. So if I run npx expoand then the command it should always take the latest version of expo anyway, right?

Since SDK 46, the expo package includes the new Expo CLI. You shouldn’t install the expo-cli package anymore unless you need it for an old project. To run the new CLI just run npx expo inside your project’s directory. npx comes with npm and will look for the expo package inside your node_modules folder. This way when you upgrade to SDK 49 in the future and install expo@^49.0.0 for example, you’ll get the matching version of Expo CLI and running npx expo will invoke it.
