I am trying to start a new react project But I am getting this error and the app is not created. I have installed react globally

enter image description here(base) mukund@mukund-Inspiron-15-3567:~$ create-react-app todo-app

Creating a new React app in /home/mukund/todo-app.

Installing packages. This might take a couple of minutes. Installing react, react-dom, and react-scripts with cra-template...

Solution

  • Creating an app like the recommended way by the core React team at reactjs.org should solve the problem.

    Do this:

    npx create-react-app todo-app

    If that is still not working then run the following to clear your npm cache before trying the step above again:

    npm cache clean --force

    This just gives you a clean reset incase your cached modules are conflicting with each other.
