I think you will need to have version of Node>=10.16 and version of NPM >=5.6 If this is still not resolved then try this:

  1. Clean cache with
  • npm cache clean --force
  1. Install the latest version of NPM globally as admin:
  • npm install -g npm@latest --force

3.clean cache with

  • npm cache clean --force

I've never seen the ./ inclusion when creating a react app, but that's not to say it's wrong... maybe just follow the docs here and use: npx create-react-app my-app
