Error when trying: yarn create vite /yarn create vite my-react-app --template react

Question

I have installed yarn in Windows 10 using the command npm install --global yarn and checked the version using yarn --version and it Shows the version information in the command. Then I tried to create a vite application using the following command: yarn create vite but it showed the following error in cmd. If you know please give me the solution. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling yarn but the same error occurred. Thanks.

This is an error in cmd:

C:\DevProjects>yarn create vite

I had the same problem but couldn't find a way to solve it via CLI.

If you really insist on using the Vite/Yarn combo, here’s how I do it:

1. Manually go to (this is the directory in your question) C:\Users\Graphic Doctor\AppData\Local\Yarn\bin\create-vite and manually start create-vite.cmd
2. A new command prompt window will pop up, just follow the instructions.
3. Once completed, your project will be ready and located in C:\Users\Graphic Doctor\AppData\Local\Yarn\bin, just manually move it to your preferred location.

Good luck!
