@KedarnagMukanahallipatna this error throws while project creating so I can't install in project directory — Ragu, Aug 30 '18 at 05:49
Can you find `react-dev-utils` in the output of this ? `npm list -g` — Kedarnag Mukanahallipatna, Aug 30 '18 at 06:00
@ragu you won't get same issue can you paste your console output in pastebin.com after running `npm install -g react-dev-utils ` — madhu131313, Aug 30 '18 at 06:15
I have the same issue. @KedarnagMukanahallipatna I do not see react-dev-utils in the output of npm list -g — askatral, Aug 30 '18 at 07:08
@KedarnagMukanahallipatna OUTPUT: C:\WINDOWS\system32>npm init react-app react-firebase This utility will walk you through creating a package.json file. It only covers the most common items, and tries to guess sensible defaults. See `npm help json` for definitive documentation on these fields and exactly what they do. Use `npm install ` afterwards to install a package and save it as a dependency in the package.json file. Press ^C at any time to quit. package name: (system32) — askatral, Aug 30 '18 at 07:26
@KedarnagMukanahallipatna i used this line npm init react-app react-firebase, same issue came — Ragu, Aug 30 '18 at 07:31
I'll take the blame here, as I should have asked you before which OS are you trying it on ? I assumed it was OS X. _This is uncharted territory for me_ — Kedarnag Mukanahallipatna, Aug 30 '18 at 07:32
Check, if [this](https://github.com/react-community/create-react-native-app/issues/229#issuecomment-308183778) helps. — Kedarnag Mukanahallipatna, Aug 30 '18 at 07:36
This issue is being discussed also on the create-react-app repo (which is the project from which react-dev-utils is published). See here and feel free to add info: https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/issues/4939 — GavinoGrifoni, Aug 30 '18 at 09:49

i tried this yarn add -g react-dev-utils@https://registry.npmjs.org/react-dev-utils/react-dev-utils-5.0.2.tgz (remove the "/-/" from the URL) and then run create-react-app my-app and it worked.

or if using npm try:

npm install -g react-dev-utils@https://registry.npmjs.org/react-dev-utils/react-dev-utils-5.0.2.tgz

it says yarn is not a recognized command. I'm using windows command prompt – askatral Aug 30 '18 at 08:05
replace "yarn add" with "npm install". Check my original post for the full command – zharif Aug 30 '18 at 08:10
react-dev-utils installed. react app created. Thanks for ending all the frustration. I was worried how I was going to go on with learning react without practicing the code. – askatral Aug 30 '18 at 08:17
You can also update the url in yarn.lock file and remove the dash(-). Worked for me :) – Shivansh Nalwaya Aug 30 '18 at 11:22

The problem is npm is not able to find react-dev-utils in the registry server. you can try different registries as mentioned here

Can't install any packages in Node.js using "npm install"

then you can solve this installing that package

npm install react-dev-utils@^5.0.2  -g

Is it install globally or project folder inside npm install react-dev-utils@^5.0.2 --save – Ragu Aug 30 '18 at 05:40
you can do either way but installing in your project is better – madhu131313 Aug 30 '18 at 05:42

npm ERR! code E404 npm ERR! 404 Not Found: react-dev-utils@https://registry.npmjs.org/react-dev-utils/-/react-dev-utils-5.0.2.tgz this is the output for the cmmand – askatral Aug 30 '18 at 07:24
try `npm set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/` and then run it again – madhu131313 Aug 30 '18 at 07:26
Same error C:\WINDOWS\system32>npm set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/ C:\WINDOWS\system32>npm install react-dev-utils@^5.0.2 -g npm ERR! code E404 npm ERR! 404 Not Found: react-dev-utils@https://registry.npmjs.org/react-dev-utils/-/react-dev-utils-5.0.2.tgz – askatral Aug 30 '18 at 07:27
After referring to the link, I tried the command , npm set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/ and got the same output after install command: npm ERR! 404 Not Found: react-dev-utils@https://registry.npmjs.org/react-dev-utils/-/react-dev-utils-5.0.2.tgz – askatral Aug 30 '18 at 07:38
Even if I try to set the registry with http link, in the error msg it still says the https link is not found – askatral Aug 30 '18 at 07:40

Something has changed in the registries. Explicitly adding the package didn't work for me, but flushing the lock files to remove reference to the old registry path did:

Yarn:

Delete yarn.lock
Run yarn

NPM:

Delete package-lock.json
Run npm install
