Create-react-app no longer supported

[manny0328]

When i create a react app
I got an err that is
A template was not provided.this is likely because you're using an outdated version of create-react-app.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 before using create-react-app again.

I try to update react-app but its not working

Can anyone short out this err

you might want to try the following after I have looked into this problem further:

npm uninstall -g create-react-app

yarn global remove create-react-app

which create-react-app - If it returns something (e.g. /usr/local/bin/create-react-app), then do a rm -rf /usr/local/bin/create-react-app to delete manually.

npm cache clean --force

npm cache verify

npx create-react-app@latest

---

wish you good luck :)

It worked!

now I can do npm create-react-app@latest - but when I try with template I get same error as before

"A template was not provided. This is likely because you're using an outdated version of create-react-app.

Did you tried to add Sudo before npx? It should have configure permissions properly in some cases.
sudo npx create-react-app .

I was getting the same error with release 4.0.3 and the latest one is 5.0.1. (February 4, 2023)
My solution:

npm uninstall -g [email protected]
npm install create-react-app@^5.0.1
It worked after this.
