I am trying to create a react app using the "npx/npm create-react-app hello" command and got this whole message

Question

when I run the following command to create a react app:

C:\WINDOWS\system32> npm i create-react-app -g hello

I get the following message in cmd:

npm WARN deprecated hello-config@1.0.1: Use @hello/config instead
npm WARN deprecated core-js@2.6.11: core-js@<3 is no longer maintained and not recommended for usage due to the number of issues. Please, upgrade your dependencies to the actual version of core-js@3.

> core-js@2.6.11 postinstall C:\Users\Simran Shivani\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\hello\node_modules\core-js

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Your command tries to install the packages create-react-app and hello globally, If you are using npm 5.2 or later there is no reason to install create-react-app globally.

Use the recommended command to create your app instead,

npx create-react-app my-app

This command will get the latest version of create-react-app and generate your project inside a folder name my-app in your current working directory without installing create-react-app globally.

Then you can change the working directory to my-app and start the development server by running the command npm start.

You can refer to the docs for more details.
