Have you tried updating node? and your package manager. Which one are you using? Also the OS.

I am also unable to create a new react app.
When running npx create-react-app my-app the process stop after few seconds:

npm http fetch GET 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/create-react-app 212ms (cache revalidated)
Need to install the following packages:
  create-react-app
Ok to proceed? (y) 
npm http fetch GET 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/create-react-app 6ms (cache hit)
npm http fetch POST 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/-/npm/v1/security/advisories/bulk 341ms
npm http fetch GET 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/tar 50ms (cache revalidated)
npm http fetch GET 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/tar-pack 841ms (cache revalidated)

You are running `create-react-app` 4.0.3, which is behind the latest release (5.0.0).

We no longer support global installation of Create React App.

Please remove any global installs with one of the following commands:
- npm uninstall -g create-react-app
- yarn global remove create-react-app

The latest instructions for creating a new app can be found here:
https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/

I don't have any global install of create-react-app.
npm list -g gives:

├── @mdxp/create-webpack@0.2.5
├── corepack@0.10.0
├── decktape@3.4.0

I am using Node version 16.13.1 installed with nvm

Uninstall the create-react-app using "npm uninstall -g create-react-app" and again reinstall it using "npm install -g create-react-app". This problem I just faced today.
Or use npx create-react-app

@buchi-code @tonai I also faced the same problem and using npx create-react-app@latest my-app helped. Perhaps you can give it a try.

Thanks @thanhpd your solution works.

[bartdorsey]

Why would we have to do npx create-react-app@latest to make this work? This seems like a bug somewhere, either with npm or npx or create-react-app.....

I'm having similar issues.
Mac V12.1

• Node version 14.x 16.x, and 17.x
• npm cache clean --force
• sudo npm uninstall -g create-react-app
• npx clear-npx-cache

using a versioned create-react-app doesn't always work.
for example
nvm use 14 - creaet-react-app@5.0.0 correctly setup
nvm use 16 - creaet-react-app@5.0.0 fails to setup stating "A template was not provided. This is likely because you're using an outdated version of create-react-app."
