I have tried most error solving techniques like:

npm cache clean --force

Also I uninstalled the node and installed latest version of Node 10.1. I also set the ssl to false, but that also didn't help me.

Answer 1

I run:

npm install -g create-react-app

and see:

+ create-react-app@1.5.2
added 67 packages from 20 contributors in 10.728s

Please try it again.

My recommendation is yarn

It is faster than npm.
