Relatively new to programming and currently trying to install create-react-app with npm and its giving me this output:

jacobb$ npm install -g create-react-app

I've checked permissions and the folder is able to be accessed by everyone, so I don't think that's the issue. I looked up other questions related to this on the site and I wasn't sure if they were the same since everyone else's output seemed to be different. Apologies if this is the same as another question I've missed.

    Try with correct permissions using sudo: `sudo npm install -g create-react-app` – adamz4008 Dec 04 '19 at 22:24
