I encountered the same issue. I have tried almost everything. uninstall, clear cache, and use npx create-react-app@5.0.0 but still not working. but the yarn does work. Can anyone help?

Hello, I just came across this problem, and I found that with this I could solve it

npx create-react-app@latest {project name}

[maximarsoficial]

Also what one can do is enter the console as administrator, located in the user's folder, and put this command (in my case I used the NPM one)

npm uninstall -g create-react-app

we uninstall it and then I reinstall it
npm install -g create-react-app

and voila, it worked for me

[chuchude]

Thank you. I just fixed it by running npm install -g create-react-app@5.0.0

I would advice against installing npm packages globally. Thus I would recommended that you instead do:

npm uninstall -g create-react-app
npx clear-npx-cache
npx create-react-app my-app

This is the preferred installation method according to the react docs.
https://reactjs.org/docs/create-a-new-react-app.html

npx is included in newer versions of npm and you shouldn't need to install it.
Read more about npx here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/npx

Edit: Thanks to @strongmove for suggesting to add npx clear-npx-cache

@MrEmanuel, the problem is that

npm uninstall -g create-react-app

does not solve the You are running create-react-app 4.0.3, which is behind the latest release (5.0.0). We no longer support global installation of Create React App message that gives the title to this ticket.

So this is what happens when running npx create-react-app as recommended, even after uninstalling globally.

PS C:\Repos> npx create-react-app my-app
Need to install the following packages:
 create-react-app
Ok to proceed? (y) y

You are running `create-react-app` 4.0.3, which is behind the latest release (5.0.0).

We no longer support global installation of Create React App.

Please remove any global installs with one of the following commands:
- npm uninstall -g create-react-app
- yarn global remove create-react-app

The latest instructions for creating a new app can be found here:

PS C:\Repos>

The solution as mentioned above is to just use npx create-react-app@latest, but it's definitely a strange problem. I'm using a fresh installation of node and npm here. I'm running on Windows through PowerShell.

I have encountered this issue last week and my take is npm_config_yes=true create-react-app my-app@latest

[strongmove]

npx clear-npx-cache worked for me.

[MrEmanuel]

I updated my answer to include the command do clear the cache as per the comment from @strongmove
