How to use create-react-app with an older React version?

Question

When using create-react-app with custom-react-scripts I always end up with React 16 (latest) installed. Is there a way to create a new project with an older version, like React

Answer 1

First you have to install npm in your system Then For Create react app you have to run below command

sudo npm init react-app my-app --scripts-version 1.1.5

cd my-app

sudo npm install --save react@16.0.0

sudo npm install --save react-dom@16.0.0

it's working charm for me
