node -v
v14.16.0
npm -v
6.14.11

work fine

[nlf]

i can't reproduce this one, i'm using the same node and npm versions as you and when i run npx create-react-app --help i get the correct output.

is there anything unusual about your configuration? an alternative registry? proxy? can you share the output of npm config ls?

[caohuilin]

[nlf]

i see you're using a different registry.. it could be that registry is not returning all of the metadata that we need in order to install completely.

with your current configuration, can you try creating an empty directory and running npm install create-react-app in it and see if you get the same error?

if you do, create a second empty directory and in that one run npm install create-react-app --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org and see if you get the same error

[caohuilin]

npm install create-react-app is ok, but npx create-react-app --help also has error.

[darcyclarke]

@caohuilin This seems to be an issue with the registry mirror you're configured against & not with the npm CLI itself; Can you try to see if installs/runs succeed in v6?

yes,v6 is ok

[OZZlE]

I have the same issue on Win10, I was using a different registry and proxies but I commented it out in .npmrc, from past testing it seems to read this file on every run so should be sufficient?

Work around (don't do this inside a node project folder!):

npm install create-react-app
node node_modules/create-react-app/index.js [name-of-project]
# press enter if it hangs??

Afterwards you can remove node_modules, package.json, package-lock.json in the folder you ran it

[JoshMcCullough]

We had legacy-peer-deps=true in our .npmrc because back when the big peer dep change happened, we ran into issues. Removing this config got me past this error.

[Xiaoming985]

@caohuilin Did you solved this problem? I also met this problem, and my node & npm version are same as yours. Could you help me?

[JoshMcCullough]

@Xiaoming985 maybe a long shot but would my comment before yours help?

[wraithgar]

This does appear to be an issue with your local registry. Closing due to our inability to reproduce. If this is something you are still experiencing w/ the latest npm version and have a way to reproduce this locally, please open a new issue.
