I had a same problem then i tried the below Command and it fixed my issue

npm cache clean --force

The above command didn't solved your problem then try the below one.

npm init -y
npx create-react-app your-app-name

Answer 3

I faced the same issue when using npx and was able to resolve this with the following steps:

• Upgraded to latest yarn version: $ npm i @yarn@latest
• Remove node_modules folder
• Remove yarn.lock (if it exists).
• Remove .npmrc from your user folder.

If the issue still persist you can use yarn command instead : $ yarn create react-app learnredux

yarn create is available in Yarn 0.25+

Answer 4

I had the same error on my Mac.

I just re-downloaded the installer from the Node.js website. This should reinstall all the dependencies and make sure that all paths are valid.

Answer 5

I solved this problem by deleting .yarnrc file from C:\Users\yourUserName\

Answer 6

Once you have cleaned the yarn cache by running:

yarn cache clean

then subsequent calls to:

npx create-react-app your-app

will work.
