I’m trying to install react to create a project in vs code. When I try doing this using npx create-react-app frontend I get:
Need to install the following packages:
create-react-app
Ok to proceed? (y)
Which then gives me an error saying that:
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
The latest instructions for creating a new app can be found here:
https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/
I entered npm uninstall -g create-react-app and followed the latest instructions , but the the latest instructions say to use npx create-react-app, and when I try it again I keep getting the exact same issue. Does anyone know why this is happening or how to fix this?
>Solution :
You need to uninstall the global installation first which you did but in my case I had to clear the cache too.
try this:
npx clear-npx-cache
