A template was not provided. This is likely because you're using an outdated version of create-react-app.
Please note that global installs of create-react-app are no longer supported.


You can fix this by running npm uninstall -g create-react-app or yarn global remove create-react-app before using create-react-app again.

  • did you try this: "You can fix this by running npm uninstall -g create-react-app or yarn global remove create-react-app before using create-react-app again." – Rmaxx May 17 '22 at 10:44
  • @Rmaxx yes and I do not have global installs of create-react-app – Sibulele May 17 '22 at 10:48
  • Try npm outdated to see if you need to update a package, looks like typescript is 2.7 and schould at least be 2.8 – Rmaxx May 18 '22 at 05:43

Thank you everyone. My question has been answered by @Kayzer161 on this post This SVGO version is no longer supported. Upgrade to v2.x.x .

Here is the answer:-

create a react app by this command, npx create-react-app@latest my-app --use-npm

I had a depreciated version of "tar" and I updated it by the following command:-

sudo npm i tar

If you've previously installed create-react-app globally via npm install -g create-react-app, we recommend you uninstall the package using npm uninstall -g create-react-app to ensure that npx always uses the latest version.

Use either one of the below commands:

  • npx create-react-app my-app

  • npm init react-app my-app

  • yarn create react-app my-app

if npm uninstall -g create-react-app stated above does not work. Type where create-react-app to know where it is installed. rm -rf /usr/local/bin/create-react-app to delete manually

  • Hi @todevv , thanks for answering. I have uninstalled the global installs of create-react-app using the suggested commands. I also run "which create-react-app", I get nothing. So I can safely say I do not have a global installation of create-react-app – Sibulele May 17 '22 at 10:52
  • It's not working, seems like the problem is with this warning, warning react-scripts > @svgr/webpack > @svgr/plugin-svgo > svgo@1.3.2: This SVGO version is no longer supported. Upgrade to v2.x.x. – Sibulele May 17 '22 at 10:58
