I am new to backend and I am having issues creating react app.
I have started fresh multiple times and create a brand new terminal which I cd in a folder named "client".
As I type npx create-react-app./ I get this error:
ritamiranda@Ritas-MacBook-Air new project % cd client
ritamiranda@Ritas-MacBook-Air client % npx create-react-app./
npm ERR! code ENOENT

please help, thank you!
Creating a React Project
I believe you're actually missing naming your app.
To create a project, navigate to the folder where you want to store the project and from the terminal run:
npx create-react-app my-app
Instead of my-app make sure to choose whatever name you want to call your project.
You can create a project with Vite. It is faster than the comparatively traditional way. You can run the below code in your terminal.
npm create vite@latest myapp
