'npx create-react-app my-app ERROR "In most cases you are behind a proxy..."

Error when using npx create-react-app my-app. I'm new in node and react and I'm trying to create my first react app. I seem to have fairly good internet connection.

I tried npx create-react-app my-app 6 times but it's having the same error:

user@Acer:~/ReactProjects$ npx create-react-app my-app

Creating a new React app in /home/user/ReactProjects/my-app.

I am running this on windows 10 build 19044 using vscode with remote wsl extension which connects to my ubuntu-20.04 on wsl2. I want to create my first react app. What should I do from here?

Solution 1:[1]

Sometimes i got same error when not connected with network or poor network connection.

Solution 2:[2]

try to update npm using npm install -g npm@latest --force

Solution 3:[3]

I had the same issue this Error occurred because you are using proxy server to connect internet if so stopping using proxy will solve it but if you want to keep up with proxy follow this first clear cache

npm cache clear --force

second:

npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/

third:

npm install -g create-react-app

last:

create-react-app appName
