CodePudding user response：

Have you tried running:

npx clear-npx-cache to clear your npx cache and then running the npx create-react-app your-app command?

Also have a look at this answer on clearing cache.

Additionally, it might be worth trying to force the latest version with:

npx create-react-app@latest my-app --use-npm

CodePudding user response：

You will have to clear npx cache to make it work.

You can locate the location of the folder where create-react-app in installed using npm ls -g create-react-app
