Once you have cleaned the yarn cache by running:

yarn cache clean

then subsequent calls to:

npx create-react-app your-app

will work.

I had same issue and solved it by:

Installing latest version of node, npm and yarn.

npm install -g npm@latest
nvm install node
npm install -g yarn

nvm installs Node.js and npm manages packages.

This worked best for me. npx create-react-app was no problem anymore. Thanks!

This is the correct answer. create-react-app requires Node >= 8.10 and npm >= 5.6

I had a same problem then i tried the below Command and it fixed my issue

npm cache clean --force

The above command didn't solved your problem then try the below one.

npm init -y
npx create-react-app your-app-name

I faced the same issue when using npx and was able to resolve this with the following steps:

Upgraded to latest yarn version: $ npm i @yarn@latest
Remove node_modules folder
Remove yarn.lock (if it exists).
Remove .npmrc from your user folder.

If the issue still persist you can use yarn command instead : $ yarn create react-app learnredux

yarn create is available in Yarn 0.25+

I had the same error on my Mac.

I just re-downloaded the installer from the Node.js website. This should reinstall all the dependencies and make sure that all paths are valid.

I also resolved my issue by installing the latest version of node from

https://nodejs.org/en/download/

And then i run below command

npm install -g create-react-app

in the terminal Followed by "create-react-app " or "create-react-app ." if you are already in the folder.

How would that help?

I encountered the same problem. It seems that this occurs when npm and node installation is broken. However, sometimes clearing cache doesn't work. I had to not just uninstall but delete/purge all npm and node files on my system, and reinstall them back again.

Remove node and npm

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules
sudo rm -rf ~/.npm

sudo apt remove --purge npm
sudo apt remove --purge node
sudo apt remove --purge nodejs

Check if npm and node are removed by running: which node and which npm If you still see some folders, try removing them using:

sudo apt-get remove nodejs
sudo apt-get remove npm

Update system, just in case

sudo apt-get update

Install node and npm

sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo apt-get install npm

Check installation

npm -v
node -v

Note: The steps here involve removing existing modules and putting them back again. I also had to manually uninstall nodejs using Programs and Features (for Windows).

Yes, I have the same issue and I am unable to solve but after uninstalling yarn and updating node with the latest version.

Also, make sure you have installed

npm i -g create-react-app

after updating the packages.

Clean the cache also to make it free from bugs this will definitely work

Please try to use a code block for the runnable command lines or code in general

I accidentally hid the .yarnrc file and that caused the problem.

I had the same problem. Instead of yarn you can use npm to create the app. Just add the --use-npm flag so:

npx create-react-app app --use-npm
