I am trying to create a React app boiler plate by running the following command

npx create-react-app my-app

I get the following errors

npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall lstat
npm ERR! path C:\Users\dejean\AppData\Roaming\npm
npm ERR! errno -4058
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat 'C:\Users\dejean\AppData\Roaming\npm'   
npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
npm ERR! enoent

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     C:\Users\dejean\AppData\Local\npm-cache\_logs\2023-06-27T18_53_22_682Z-debug-0.log

I use node 18.16.1 and npm 9.5.1

Run npm install -g npm to upgrade Node Package Manager

The error you're encountering seems to be related to npm not being able to find a specific file or directory. It appears that the command you ran is trying to access the directory "C:\Users\dejean\AppData\Roaming\npm", but it is unable to locate it.

Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue:

Make sure you have Node.js and npm installed on your system. You can verify this by running the following commands in your command prompt or terminal:

node -v
npm -v

If Node.js and npm are installed, try updating npm to the latest version by running the following command:

npm install -g npm@latest

If the issue persists, it's possible that there may be a problem with your npm configuration or installation. You can try resetting the npm configuration by running the following command:

npm config set prefix ""

After resetting the npm configuration, try running the create-react-app command again:

npx create-react-app my-app
