'Error while trying to create react app using npm

I'm trying to creating react app using create-react-app command but I get this error message:

npm ERR! code ERR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT
npm ERR! errno ERR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT
npm ERR! network Invalid response body while trying to fetch https://registry.npmjs.org/dotenv-expand: Socket timeout
npm ERR! network This is a problem related to network connectivity.

npm ERR!     C:\Users\IMAD\AppData\Local\npm-cache\_logs\2022-02-12T18_27_46_293Z-debug-0.log

I tried to clean cache:

npm cache clean -f

I also tried restarting the computer and reinstall nodejs and npm, but nothing was fixed.

Can anyone know what is the issue? and how can I solve it?

node.jsreactjscreate-react-app


Solution 1:[1]

After more than 3 days of working on this error, I found the solution and fixed the problem by install another version of Nodejs. The current version was v16.14.0 when I got this error. And now it's v16.0.0 and everything's is work just fine.

Solution 2:[2]

You should use npx command (not npm) like that as in official documentation : https://reactjs.org/docs/create-a-new-react-app.html

npx create-react-app my-app

Solution 3:[3]

New versions of nodejs are not stable, downgrade to 16.0.0 was the better thing i made.

Solution 4:[4]

I solved this using the following command.

npm uninstall -g create-react-app

then

npm install -g create-react-app
