"command not found: create-react-app" error when trying to create a react app

Question

I have started learning React JS. When I try running the command npx create-react-app myapp, I get this error:

Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, mkdir 'C:\Users\Sameha
command not found: create-react-app

Why is this happening? I have node version 14.17.5 installed.

Answer 1

Try to run it locally with npm instead:

npm install -g create-react-app

Then

npm create-react-app myapp
