Judging by that error message you might have an existing global install of create-react-app that is some older unnsupported version or judging by that issue you linked there, CRA might be installed in multiple locations.

Steps that you can potentially perform to resolve this if it's a matter of globally installed package:

  1. uninstall global version of create-react-app -> npm uninstall -g create-react-app
  2. clear npm cache just in case -> npm cache clean --force
  3. clear npx cache just in case -> npx clear-npx-cache
  4. run CRA project generate script -> npx create-react-app my-app-name

There are some other potential solutions listed there in that thread you linked to, so you can definitely try those.


P.S. Next time, please provide more info about the issue you are having. Without some additional context (screenshot, text is even better, or both), it's really hard to resolve issues.

npx create-react-app@5.0.0 appName
will force npx to use latest version of create-react-app

I've also done all the uninstalling and deleting and clearing of caches suggested by this thread and others. I deleted my node, etc, installed nvm and used the latest, 16 and 14 versions, and for good measure restarted my Mac. Nothing works to fix this issue.

The only thing that has worked is the suggestion from @ikeman32 Added @5.0.0 to the npx command works!

Just don't use Capitals in the name of the app it will fail

I wish I understood this better. Let me know if I can provide more details.
