How do I fix this npm create react app issue

[Sumit Sahu]

Hi Joshuaschist,

So you are using

 npm create-react-app react-timer

command to create new react app with the name "react-timer". Here "create-react-app" is a node module, which you have to install it first either locally or globally, then run the command

npm install create-react-app react-timer

. If you miss the "install" in command, then how would 'npm' know, what to do with 'create-react-app' that means, whether to install it or uninstall it. Or you are trying to create a react project then just use

 npx create-react-app my-app

. Follow this get started guide to work with react https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/ ..

Thanks,
Sumit Sahu

Run npm install create-react-app first, then "npm" shouldn't be added to the create-react-app again..

Then create-react-app react-timer should run next after installation of npm i create-react-app

First run
npm cache clean -f

then try with these command

Install the global package.

npm install create-react-app -g

Create a new project called demo-app:

create-react-app <Project Name>

create-react-app demo-app
