Setup instructions result in "create-react-app: command not found"

[3nki]

Following the simple setup instructions yields:

-bash: create-react-app: command not found

mac os x 10.11.5, node 6.2, npm 3.8.9

Can you try running npm install -g create-react-app again and paste the output?
Thanks.

[gaearon]

I’ll close because there is not enough information to help you.

@3nki Are you able to call any other global Node utilities (e.g. try npm install -g gulp and then call gulp). If not, it’s likely an issue with /usr/local/bin/ not being in your PATH, and you’d need to fix that.

[3nki]

aha! yup, that seems to have fixed it – thnx!

Hi!

I have the same issue. I've added /usr/local/bin and usr/local/bin/npm to path but the problem persists.

[gaearon]

You need to figure out where global modules get installed. For example if you don't have /usr/local/bin/create-react-app, figure out where it is. Then add this folder to your PATH.

[webkay]

In case yarn global add create-react-app has been used, I found create-react-app here yarnpkg/yarn#1151 (comment)

ls ~/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/.bin

[connelevalsam]

figure out where $PATH is then export it in your .bashrc file and call it in your .profile file like this

[praphat]

I solved the problem by adding C:\Users\ugur\AppData\Roaming\npm to windows PATH variable.

[invious]

echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.npm-packages/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile

For others who are still having an issue and the above solutions haven't work, take a look at this.
I found that Gulp was not working as well and it led me to this fix.
Run.
$ npm config set prefix /usr/local
And then reinstall react.
$ npm install -g create-react-app
The command should work now.
$ create-react-app my-app

Happy coding.

[sergioestebance]

Thanks @vandoan, that worked for me. Although I'd tried :
/Users/username/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/create-react-app/index.js my-app and worked as well.
Cheers

[shubhamkumardev]

hey, I had also same problem so I fixed it by reinstalling nodejs of v6.11.3

hope it will helpful for you guys. :)

[marquizzo]

@Luckygoodboy It seems that reinstalling NodeJS (in Windows, at least) adds Node and NPM modules into the PATH environment variables, which is probably what solved the problem behind the scenes for you:

[cafruv]

For windows 10, add C:\Users{your username}\AppData\Roaming\npm to system path solve this problem.

[SYuvaraj]

thanks vandoan...your fix worked out for me.

[SaulNapoles]

try with the command , sudo npm install -g create-react-app , and then create-react-app mywebapp without capital letters, if this don´t work whit the command nano /etc/paths
add /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/bin/create-react-app and try other time, is worked in my mac whit Mac OS High Sierra.

[aditya063]

Thanks @vandoan It worked for me

[JGallardo]

sudo npm install -g create-react-app appname
where "appname" is what you want your app to be named

[bondz]

@JGallardo sudo will mess up your global installs. Fix your path setup instead.

[dnhyde]

If someone still has similar issues running
npx create-react-app my-app

worked for me on OSX High Sierra, node 9.7.1 and npm 5.6.0

I'm new to ReactJS. I 'm want to install reactjs on my Mac. But I don't know how and what to install?
and suggestions. I've been searching. i was looking at Tutorialspoint installation setup guide, but don't know if works only for windows or mac. i would like to install reactjs most and best up-to-date
version for Mac.
I typed "react -v" in terminal and got this message: "-bash: react: command not found"
what does it mean.

Thanks in advance.

[bondz]

@Web-Ghostrider25 Install the LTS version of NodeJS from https://nodejs.org/en/ and follow the instructions on the readme to get started. It works for all platfroms.

You can check that everything is installed correctly by checking node -v, npm -v, npx -v.
react -v is not going to return anything.

[Web-Ghostrider25]

Thanks. I used the ReactJS setup on TutorialsPoint. But I can't see the output on localhost:8080? I setup 8080 as my port in web. Config file

[rades12340]

npm err! unexpected end of JSON input while parsing

Did you found any solution for this?

[nupurndas]

Try npx create-react-app appname. There should be some path error. Mine's was solved with this.

[ugurnur]

I had the same problem, npx create-react-app worked for me too.

[tangzzz-fan]

i met this problem too, i used yarn instead. i recommend to use yarn.
