Is the way to run it on Ubuntu Server 16.04
I try to run it, but have an error:

`root@ubuntu:/mnt/hgfs/Apps# create-react-app test
Creating a new React app in /mnt/hgfs/Apps/test.

Installing packages. This might take a couple minutes.
Installing react-scripts from npm...

You just have to use: sudo npm i create-react-app -g

This looks like either an npm bug or a network issue. I would recommend to update npm and try again.

Maybe is the version of node. You're using the v4.2.6. I'm using the v6.3.1 with Ubuntu 16.04 and I have no problem with the create-react-app. Can you upgrade it using nvm and try again?
