There is an error with npx create-react-app command, how do I fix it?

Question

I've been trying to create a new React app using the 'npx create-react-app' command but it doesn't seem to be working for me. Has anyone else encountered this problem recently?

I have a stable internet connection and ensure Node.js is up to date on my system. However, whenever I run the 'npx create-react-app' command, it fails to start the React app creation process. I received an error message, but it provided no details about the problem.

I've tried multiple times and even searched online for similar issues, but I can't find any recent reports or solutions related to this specific issue. My global npm packages, including 'create-react-app', are also up to date.

I'm not sure if this is an issue with my local setup or if there might be an issue with the 'npx create-react-app' command itself. If anyone has encountered a similar problem or has any insights on how to resolve this, I would greatly appreciate your help.

Make sure you have the latest version of Node.js installed. You can check your Node.js version by running the following command in the terminal:

• node -v

Make sure you have the latest version of create-react-app installed. You can check your create-react-app version by running the following command in the terminal:

• npm ls create-react-app

Try running the npx create-react-app command with the --verbose flag. This will provide more information about the error you encountered.

• npx create-react-app --verbose my-app

If you still have problems, you can try creating a new React application using the create-react-app website. This will create a new application in a temporary directory, so you don't have to worry about making any changes to your local environment. https://create-react-app.dev/: https://create-react-app.dev/

If you have tried all of the above and are still having issues, you can post a question on the Create React App: https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/discussions discussion forum .

Hope this helps!
