For those who keep trying and still doesn't work, you might have the same problem as me.

Because the global installs of create-react-app are no longer supported you might have it installed on your machine, thus have the old version running whenever you try to npx create-react-app. There are 2 very easy steps: remove create-react-app, then run the npx command.

It will look like this:

1. sudo npm rm -g create-react-app (sudo is needed on macs to grant you permission, it will ask for your password, type it in and hit enter)
2. npx create-react-app my-app

Should solve your problem there

I tried all the suggestion stated above but none works for me. This suggestion at 8097 works for me. Basically, I just run npx create-react-app@latest your-project-name

Answer 4

Still didn't got to know the issue. But i tried :-

npm rm -g create-react-app
npm install -g create-react-app
npx create-react-app my-app

This also didn't worked for me. So I uninstalled node and installed it again. It worked for me

Answer 5

You can uninstall a globally installed package with this: npm uninstall -g create-react-app

Answer 6

had the same issue on my mac. The correct way is if you've previously installed create-react-app globally via npm install -g create-react-app, you have to uninstall the package using npm uninstall -g create-react-app in order npx to uses the latest version.

Tips: Try npx create-react-app --info to check if npmGlobalPackages includes create-react-app. If cra is included then try the below command which create-react-app and rm -rf the outputted path.

Last but not least, force npx to use latest:

npx create-react-app@latest your-project-name

Follow the following steps and that should solve your problem.

1. sudo npm rm -g create-react-app (Do not skip sudo if you are a macOS user).

2. npx create-react-app my-app (npm 5.2+ and higher) or npm init react-app my-app or yarn create react-app my-app (if you use yarn)

Answer 10

I had the same problem, this how I solved it.

When I try to run npm rm -g create-react-app, it shows an error.

So I went to the node modules directory (for Mac /usr/local/lib/node_modules) and delete create-react-app directory and reinstall create-react-app using npx create-react-app my-app.

Answer 11

For Windows users who are facing this issue:

1. Open Task Manager and check if the Windows Command Processor process is set to Suspended.

2. If it is set to Suspended, open Resource Monitor and click on the CPU tab.

3. From within the CPU tab, locate and right-click on cmd.exe and and select Resume Process.
