Same here

In my case I had a version of create-react-app installed globally on my machine. I had to remove it using npm uninstall -g create-react-app. After that, it worked.

@sedhalsoni, most likely, you have a global installation of the CRA. @maximecote57's suggestion should work for you.

Steps:
remove create-react-app using npm uninstall -g create-react-app
and check then also exist do rm -rf /usr/local/bin/create-react-app
then do npx create-react-app my-app

Elevate to cmd prompt: where create-react-app it must be somewhere in the system files under yarn. follow that path and delete both the files.

A template was not provided. This is likely because you're using an outdated version of create-react-app.
Please note that global installs of create-react-app are no longer supported.

Hm i am searching inside npm root , it's not inside node_modules also npm list -g -- depth = 0 doesn't show it there .

I am ready to burn the laptop .

have you tried with npx. i.e npx create-react-app my-app
Try any of these :-
npx create-react-app my-app
npm init react-app my-app
yarn create react-app my-app

[goxr3plus]

@sirshikher Yes :(

[goxr3plus]

@sirshikher npm init react-app my-app this works , i mean it shouldn't because create-react-app shouldn't be globally installed.

[sirshikher]

@sirshikher Yes :(

before that install this npm install create-react-app@latest otherwise its a cache problem.

[goxr3plus]

@sirshikher This installed create-react-app on my desktop

Seems like a cache problem or something .

[goxr3plus]

@sirshikher Now i have to do that everytime when a new create-react-app update comes out ? I mean install it on desktop and go from there :) ?

Download yarn from here https://www.npmjs.com/package/yarn after that run this command:
yarn create-react-app my-app
