You are running `create-react-app` 5.0.0, which is behind the latest release (5.0.1)

I got an error while creating a React application. How do I fix it?

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19044.1586]
(c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\Olususi Victor>cd documents

C:\Users\Olususi Victor\Documents>cd react folder

C:\Users\Olususi Victor\Documents\React folder>npx create-react-app blog

You are running `create-react-app` 5.0.0, which is behind the latest release (5.0.1).

We no longer support global installation of Create React App.

Please remove any global installs with one of the following commands:
- npm uninstall -g create-react-app
- yarn global remove create-react-app

The latest instructions for creating a new app can be found here:

Try this: npm uninstall -g create-react-app. Then open: C:\Users\Your_user_name\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache delete everything in the folders. Open: C:\Users\Your_user_name\AppData\Roaming\npm delete everything related to create-react-app.

Then finally: npx create-react-app my-project Worked for me. Good luck!

I had the same problem, uninstalling create-react-app and installing the latest version solved the problem:

npm uninstall -g create-react-app
npx clear-npx-cache
npm cache clean --force
npm install -g create-react-app@latest

then you can create your react app with

npx create-react-app your-app-name

MacOs 12.3.1 - Node v16.3.0 - NPM 7.15.1

I tried a lot of possible solutions, but the only one that worked for me was to uninstall CRA globally AND locally.

So, you have to run:

npm uninstall -g create-react-app

npm uninstall create-react-app

npx clear-npx-cache

if none of the answers worked for you, try adding this command after uninstalling the create-react-app package.

npm i create-react-app

If anyone is still facing that problem after uninstalling it globally and cleaning the cache, try to run;

npm uninstall create-react-app

as you might have a non-global installation

I also encountered this problem and by installing the package with yarn, everything works! Even removing then reinstalling with npm, it didn't work. Here is my solution

Have you installed react globally? if yes, then remove it using

npm uninstall -g create-react-app

and then run your

npx create-react-app blog

if still you face the same issue than try creating a blog folder and inside that folder, run

npx create-react-app .

may be it will fix your issue.
