'npm WARN deprecated [email protected]

Even though Ive updated tar to version 8.3.1 it doesn't allow me to install react(npm install -g create-react-app). After I try to install react it outputs following message:

npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: This version of tar is no longer supported, and will not receive security updates. Please upgrade asap.

When I type npm audit it outputs that 0 vulnerabilities were found.

This is not an error. create-react-app uses exactly this version (2.2.2) of tar, even though it's outdated. You can install a new version of tar globally by running this command npm install tar@latest -g but since create-react-app uses other version you might still see that warning.
