First check if is a Proxy Issue.

Try to install the package with another internet connection!

Another causes

Missing repository registry

$ npm set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/

Clean cache

$ npm cache clean
$ npm rebuild

My problem also same but when I try following commands then works fine

If you've previously installed create-react-app globally via npm install -g create-react-app, I recommend you uninstall the package using npm uninstall -g create-react-app to ensure that npx always uses the latest version.

Then reinstall using

npm install -g create-react-app

You have already installed the npm create-react-app globally. You can just write

 npm init react-app *projectFolderName*

and it will work just fine.

I was having the same problem for almost a week here is my simple solution if you are using windows 1 run cmd as admin, 2 put this url 'npm config set registry https://skimdb.npmjs.com/registry' on cmd,3 then type 'npx create-react-app@latest YourProjectName'

Try uninstalling the current version of npm and install the latest version using

npm install -g create-react-app

The newest way to do this would be to use npx.

npx create-react-app my-app [...options]

I use this method because I also use nvm to manage node installs. Everything just plays nice with this method.

For me restarting my code editor did the job

You can try this command, which has worked for me:

npm config set strict-ssl false
