First check if is a Proxy Issue.

Try to install the package with another internet connection!

Another causes

Missing repository registry

$ npm set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/

Clean cache

$ npm cache clean
$ npm rebuild

Thanks for quick response. But I am getting bellow error - npm ERR! code E404 npm ERR! 404 Not Found: npm@latest

Eugenio Valeiras Over a year ago

Can you try with other internet net? So we discard the chance of firewall configuration??

Thanks Eugenio. It was proxy issue. I updated proxy and registry now its working. :)

My problem also same but when I try following commands then works fine

If you've previously installed create-react-app globally via npm install -g create-react-app, I recommend you uninstall the package using npm uninstall -g create-react-app to ensure that npx always uses the latest version.

Then reinstall using

npm install -g create-react-app

The newest way to do this would be to use npx.

npx create-react-app my-app [...options]

I use this method because I also use nvm to manage node installs. Everything just plays nice with this method.

Try uninstalling the current version of npm and install the latest version using

npm install -g create-react-app

You have already installed the npm create-react-app globally. You can just write

 npm init react-app *projectFolderName*

and it will work just fine.

I was having the same problem for almost a week here is my simple solution if you are using windows

run cmd as admin.
put this url npm config set registry https://skimdb.npmjs.com/registry on cmd.
then type npx create-react-app@latest **YourProjectName**

You can try this command, which has worked for me:

npm config set strict-ssl false
