create-react-app does not work

Question

i am trying to start with a react project and i installed create-react-app with npm. When i do the command create-react-app pseudogram i get the following error:

Aborting installation.
Unexpected error. Please report it as a bug:
{ Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\leonel\Desktop\pseudogram\node_modules\react-scripts\package.json'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:469:15)

    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:109:7) code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND' }

I tried with different versions of node and npm and still does not work.

Thanks in advance

Could be that you didnt run npm install

$ npm i -g create-react-app . Install it globally.

After that, in your terminal, type $ create-react-app name-of-the-app , then $ cd name-of-the-app and finally $ npm start.

The documentation will print automatically after it finishes installing.

i installed it globally, and the create-react-app starts to run and give me this: create-react-app pseudogram Creating a new React app in C:\Users\leonel\Desktop\pseudogram. Installing packages. This might take a couple of minutes. Installing react, react-dom, and react-scripts...

when i first do create-react-app name-of-the-app it does not create any folder or project. Deleting generated file... package.json Deleting pseudogram / from C:\Users\leonel\Desktop Done.

If you are on Windows, try to run it as PowerShell Admin, if you're on Linux then try with sudo create-react-app pseudogram . I can't think of anything else, since the module is working properly. You are doing something wrong.

nop.. i tried everything. i open an issue with react team and they said it must be a problem with npm, a bug in their package manager.

Then try this. npm i -g [email protected] , npm i -g create-react-app , create-react-app pseudogram , cd pseudogram , npm start. I'm out of options. But know that create-react-app works perfectly fine on latest version of npm. Or if npm isn't working for you, you can try to install it via yarn.
