according to Reactjs docs :
You’ll need to have Node >= 8.10 and npm >= 5.6 on your machine. To create a project, run:
npx create-react-app my-app
which my env meet it:
AymanMorsy@DESKTOP-6V4567D MINGW64 /g/reactprojects
$ node --version && npm --version
v12.16.0
6.13.4
AymanMorsy@DESKTOP-6V4567D MINGW64 /g/reactprojects
$ npx create-react-app my-app
npx: installed 99 in 17.908s
