I have never had an error before running create-react-app, but when I have run it on my Mac today I keep getting the below error and have not been able to resolve it. I've tried updating node, Yarn, eslint, CRA, and also clearing the node cache and nothing works. Why is this error occurring and how can I resolve it so I can install create-react-app?

Answer
You might consider updating your NodeJS version :) It's quite clear that it's an incompatible issue between your NodeJS and the create-react-app
