Keep getting error while creating react app

I have been trying to create a react app, so basically a new project such as hello world or anything.

I try using npx create-react-app my-app

The error I get is:

You are running `create-react-app` 4.0.0, which is behind the latest release (4.0.1).

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:
https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/

I try following those steps and even uninstalled using npm uninstall -g create-react-app but I still keep getting the same error.

My npm version: 6.14.8

This is such a basic process to create a first application in react I am not sure why is it so complicated. Could someone please tell how can I fix that error and also how can I create an react app smoothly?

If more information is needed please feel free to comment down below:)

npm install -g create-react-app
npx create-react-app app-name

I tried with this command. It worked

  1. npm install -g create-react-app

  2. npx create-react-app my-app

I had the same problem. So what I did is:

npm uninstall -g create-react-app
npm install create-react-app --save
npx create-react-app my-app

and it worked. The second line, I think, is to have create-react-app locally.

Dont worry ,it can be fixed by installing create-react-app globally
run these two lines and it can be fixed

npm install -g create-react-app
npx create-react-app your-app

I solved it using the following command.

npm uninstall -g create-react-app

then

npm install -g create-react-app

Afterwards you should be good to go with npx create-react-app my-app :)

The two commands helped me when I came across with this issue.

npm uninstall -g create-react-app - this uninstalles the old version

npm install -g create-react-app - this installes the new version

then put the command npx create-react-app name-of-folder
