Answer 1

With the newer versions of npm (version 5.2 and higher), you are recommended to use npx to use create-react-app instead. According to the create-react-app github, you are advised to

1. uninstall create-react-app:

npm uninstall -g create-react-app

2. clear and verify cache

npm cache verify

3. create a react app with npx and start it like

npx create-react-app my-app
cd my-app
npm start

Answer 2

Try:

npx create-react-app Secondapp
