Creating a new project with npm <= 5.2

instructions.md

If you use npm 5.1 or earlier, you can't use npx. Instead, install create-react-app globally:

npm install -g create-react-app

Now you can run:

create-react-app my-app

running "npm install -g create-react-app my-app" kinda defeats the purpose of using npx don't you think? Because i shouldn't have to install the create-react-app package to my machine first, npx should be able to fetch the package from npm's remote package library right? Don't know why my npx works for other packages but not the create-react-app one

thanks from Bangladesh for this helps

Re-start your computer, Windows. Use, gitbash or cmd for the commands, don´t use power shell

"npx create-react-app doesn't work for me. I get this feedback I already tried reinstalling the latest version of node using nvm-windows. This is what the path of my environment variable looks like, automatically added by nvm; If i first do "npm i -g create-react-app" before the npx command it works, but i shouldn't have to do that right?

Run

1. npm install create-react-app
2. npx create-react-app project-name.

It will probably work without the -g flag.

yeah it worked, thanks !!

Thanks @gaearon!

Thanks!

You are running create-react-app` 4.0.3, which is behind the latest release (5.0.1).

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
  `

Thanks a lot for this post, Its help
