'create-react-app throws error: "Missing dependencies in package.json"

So I'm trying to run reactjs official tutorial and with the first line of code:

 npx create-react-app react-tutorial

...I get the following error:

npx: installed 91 in 12.692s

Creating a new React app in /home/foo/projects/react-tutorial.

Installing packages. This might take a couple of minutes.
Installing react, react-dom, and react-scripts...

yarn add v1.12.3
[1/4] Resolving packages...
warning react-scripts > [email protected]: Please update: there are crash fixes
[2/4] Fetching packages...
[-----] 1/1297Missing dependencies in package.json

I read some where else to clean or force clean npm cache but that didn't work either:

npm cache clean --force

I'm on ubuntu running latest node (10.16.0) I also tried with 8.*

reactjs create-react-app

It seems that the error is discussed in this issue:

This seems to be a Yarn issue.

The workaround is to use npm instead of yarn:

create-react-app myproject --use-npm

If installing with npm you experience the following error:

npm ERR! cb() never called!

increase the ulimit in your .bashrc, .bash_profile, and/or .profile by updating (or removing) the below command:

ulimit -n 20000

Looks like you are using yarn instead of npm. Try --use-npm flag like this :

npx create-react-app react-tutorial --use-npm

I fixed this issue by installing yarn and then:

npx create-react-app my-app
cd my-app
npm start

Some people uninstalled yarn and used npm instead, I am not sure why npm did not work for me.

Try to upgrade npm version on your system. Also upgrade your node.js version to the latest one.

I have solved this issue here all steps are written look into it.. reinstall npm(react) using the following command npm install -g npm-reinstall to some users, it may ask to audit fix do it npm audit fix npm audit fix --force after it will take 2-5 min then write our command for creating a new project in react using npm npx create-react-app amazon --use-npm After the common step to start the server cd amazon npm start
