Question

I am trying to create create app using npx create-react-app my-app

and node : 12.14.1

I tired to follow the soultion in create-react-app doesn't generate public and src folders thus cannot get started

Answer 1

You might have already installed create-react-app globally. but npx always uses the latest version of create-react-app. please check the create-react-app version by

create-react-app -v

and ensure its latest by checking Changelog.md. if not try uninstalling the global package by

sudo npm uninstall -g create-react-app

make sure you have uninstalled globally and then try running

npx create-react-app <project_name>

Answer 2

initially tried using but not worked: npm rm -g create-react-app, npm install -g create-react-app, npx create-react-app <your-app-name>.

below command works : npx --ignore-existing create-react-app <Your-AppName>
