I am getting this create React app error again and again even after doing the uninstall part.
npm uninstall -g create-react-app

Need to install the following packages: create-react-app Ok to proceed? (y) y
You are running
create-react-app4.0.3, which is behind the latest release (5.0.0).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/
C:\>npm --version
8.3.0
C:\>node --version
v16.13.0
How can I fix this?
Try running npx clear-npx-cache to clear your npx cache and then running the npx create-react-app your-app command.
Also have a look at this answer on clearing the cache.
Additionally, it might be worth trying to force the latest version with:
npx create-react-app@latest my-app --use-npm
I have resolved with the following steps:
npm uninstall -g create-react-app
npx clear-npx-cache
npx create-react-app myapp
Just try to run the create command with force to the latest version. Just like this:
npx create-react-app@latest_version my-app --use-npm
And the latest version is 5.0.0 so just try this command:
npx create-react-app@5.0.0 my-app
Now, your error must be solved.
You just need to clear your cache and then you can create a new React project. First of all, clear the cache by running this command:
npx clear-npx-cache
If it does not work, use this and try again: Delete everything from this path.
C:\Users\Your_user_name\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache
On macOS (and likely Linux), it’s ~/.npm/_npx. You can drop it with:
rm -rf ~/.npm/_npx
Or try the command npm cache clean --force using administrator mode in your terminal. Now, just rerun your create command.
npx create-react-app your-app
Just run this command one by one.
npm uninstall -g create-react-appnpm cache clean --forcenpm cache verifynpx create-react-app my-app
