Run the following 3 commands sequentially:

npm i create-react-app
npx create-react-app@latest my-app

MacOs 12.3.1 - Node v16.3.0 - NPM 7.15.1

I tried a lot of possible solutions, but the only one that worked for me was to uninstall CRA globally AND locally.

So, you have to run:

npm uninstall -g create-react-app

npm uninstall create-react-app

npx clear-npx-cache

Solution 3:[3]

Have you installed react globally? if yes, then remove it using

npm uninstall -g create-react-app

and then run your

npx create-react-app blog

if still you face the same issue than try creating a blog folder and inside that folder, run

npx create-react-app .

may be it will fix your issue.

I had the same problem, uninstalling create-react-app and installing the latest version solved the problem:

npm uninstall -g create-react-app
npx clear-npx-cache
npm cache clean --force
npm install -g create-react-app@latest

then you can create your react app with

npx create-react-app your-app-name
