Please remove any global installs with one of the following commands:

Question

PS E:\New folder> npx create-react-app my-app Need to install the following packages: create-react-app Ok to proceed? (y) y

You are running create-react-app 4.0.3, which is behind the latest release (5.0.0).

We no longer support global installation of Create React App.

The latest instructions for creating a new app can be found here: https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/

I had the same problem recently. What I did to break this cycle was to `npm uninstall -g create-react-app` and then install it (the latest version) globally again: `npm install -g create-react-app`. It works fine from global installation despite what it says. — tromgy, Dec 19 '21 at 12:39

Worked in my case. Interesting fact: since the command deletes the cache it will also delete its own executable. – 6infinity8 Mar 03 '23 at 20:50

Step-1 npm uninstall -g create-react-app

Step-2 npm install -g create-react-app

It works for me if it still not works for you try npx clear-npx-cache after global uninstallation.
