Create React App not installing, showing an error and aborting installation

Question

I Reinstalled Node.js and Yarn. Now I am getting this error.

My environment information is:

Node: v8.12.0

NPM: 6.4.1

Yarn: 1.10.1

Answer 1

Try this!

npm install -g npm@latest  

npm install node


npm install -g yarn


npx create-react-app appname

cd firstapp

yarn start

Answer 2

Once you have cleaned the yarn cache by running:

yarn cache clean

then subsequent calls to:

npx create-react-app your-app

will work.

Answer 3

Best method for windows user is update your yarn If you use npx and got error than update yarn then use npx I have same error in windows 8.1 then I updated yarn and it solved my problem

Npm I yarn@latest
npx creat-react-app  app name

Answer 4

Yes, I have the same issue and I am unable to solve but after uninstalling yarn and updating node with the latest version.

Also, make sure you have installed

npm i -g create-react-app

after updating the packages.

Clean the cache also to make it free from bugs this will definitely work

Answer 5

I encountered the same problem. It seems that this occurs when npm and node installation is broken. However, sometimes clearing cache doesn't work. I had to not just uninstall but delete/purge all npm and node files on my system, and reinstall them back again.

Remove node and npm

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules
sudo rm -rf ~/.npm

sudo apt remove --purge npm
sudo apt remove --purge node
sudo apt remove --purge nodejs

Check if npm and node are removed by running: which node and which npm If you still see some folders, try removing them using:

sudo apt-get remove nodejs
sudo apt-get remove npm

Update system, just in case

sudo apt-get update

Install node and npm

sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo apt-get install npm

Check installation

npm -v
node -v

Note: The steps here involve removing existing modules and putting them back again. I also had to manually uninstall nodejs using Programs and Features (for Windows).

Answer 6

I had same issue and solved it by:

Installing latest version of node, npm and yarn.

npm install -g npm@latest
nvm install node
npm install -g yarn

nvm installs Node.js and npm manages packages.
