Hi @sankhadip2000 the command to initialize a new create react app is not npm init react app, it's create-react-app my-new-app and that will scaffold the project. You could create a directory before hand so for ex:

cd Desktop/Coding
create-react-app new-app
cd new-app

@Frankcarvajal Actually this changed semi-recently, and I think npx create-react-app my-app is the favored way as of today, though npm init react-app my-app should work as well.

@sankhadip2000 Try with npx create-react-app my-app and if that doesn't work, paste the output of running npx create-react-app --info.

@heyimalex can I clarify if we need a global install of CRA anymore if npx create-react-app my-app is now preferred. Does npm init react-app my-app need it either?

[heyimalex]

@verde79 I'm pretty sure that npm init react-app my-app does not require create-react-app to be globally installed; reading the docs for init it seems like it uses npx under the hood.

I'm also facing similar issue on mac, don't understand what is the issue.

More details:
I tried all commands to create react app:

create-react-app my-app

npm init react-app my-app

yarn create react-app my-app

Output file:
package.json

Can you try npm uninstall -g create-react-app followed by npx create-react-app my-app?

[ravid7000]

Working now. Issue seems like with global installed package.
