We no longer support global installation of Create React App.

Please remove any global installs with one of the following commands:
- npm uninstall -g create-react-app
- yarn global remove create-react-app

Answer 1

Run the following 3 commands sequentially:

npm uninstall -g create-react-app
npx clear-npx-cache
npm i create-react-app
npx create-react-app@latest my-app

Answer 2

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
