npx pod install执行失败且node_modules为空的问题及解决方法

我最终升级了iOS版本，通过Rosetta运行iTerm2后，pod install终于执行成功。此外我之前错误使用了npx pod install命令，正确的执行方式应为cd ios/ && pod install。

我在新笔记本上重新搭建React Native应用开发环境，执行npx pod install时遇到了如下报错：

npx pod install
Need to install the following packages:
  pod

我查看对应npx目录时，发现其下的node_modules文件夹为空，没有任何文件。
