I cannot update `create-react-app` despite globally uninstalling and using the standard 'npx create-react-app my-app' command

Question

I am trying to made a react app the standard way but hit the 'You are running create-react-app 4.0.3, which is behind the latest release (5.0.0).' roadblock.

Despite doing the regular workaround that react recommends (global uninstall and use the new command), I still get the exact same error. I've looked at several solutions and nothing has worked. Where can I fix this for good?

Answer 1

Try npx create-react-app@5.0.0 my-app
