Does this answer your question? [Difference between npx and npm?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50605219/difference-between-npx-and-npm) – Mayank Pandav Feb 12 '20 at 09:17

When I get it frozen like that, it usually doesn't resume, and doing ctrl-c and restarting usually fixes the issue. This goes for all npm commands in general, when they freeze – Sodnarts Feb 12 '20 at 09:22

If you're using npm create-react-app
, this might cause some unforeseen issues, as it is no longer support.
You should make sure you use npx create-react-app
, or npx create-react-app --template
if you want the boilerplate code, as they changed it to not include boilerplate code by default, leaving you with only package.json
, package-lock.json
and node_modules
.
Alternatively you can use yarn create react-app
and yarn create react-app --template
respectively.
