How do I resolve the operation not permitted error while attempting to install react?

I'm running the latest version of Node.js, I have been using it for a few weeks now. So the next module in the web dev Bootcamp is to learn React. I used the suggested command: npx create-react-app my-app however, I got this error:

Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, mkdir 'C:\Users\JIREHGIBSON' command not found: create-react-app

Im using a windows PC, and did not have any issues using npm until when I tried to use react locally.

I have tried to install using a sudo line command, I have edited the configuration to get rid of the space in the user name, and i have tried a force command to clear the shell cache.

Help!

You have 2 way to resolve this:

npm cache clean

Or

Did a search for .npmrc file, and changed prefix= to the correct user.

Or

npm install -g create-react-app
npx create-react-app my-app

Or

running cmd through administrator.
