I can't use "create-react-app" ("This is related to npm not being able to find a file.")

I tried every single thing I've found, but I just can't run create-react-app. I tried to uninstall node and install again, use yarn, clean cache, create with "npm init ..." but nothing works.

I ran into the same error when I set up my new machine. You have to install create-react-app on your machine via npm.

npm i -g create-react-app

The error is about not finding the create-react-app.

I have never seen this issue before. npx is distributed with npm 5.2+, so that shouldn't be the issue. It seems your issue is similar to this one Can't install any NPM package, error 4058

Try these steps:

  • Delete package-lock.json and run NPM again (probably can skip this one if it does not pertain to your issue)
  • Ensure no other processes of node.js are running (check task manager)
  • If you are using visual studio code, close it and try running npm install again.
  • If all else fails, restart your computer.

See thread here: https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/17444

Let me know if that helps; otherwise, I will keep looking.
