React app creation: create-react-app doesn't have any effect-CodePudding

I'm trying to create a React application using create-react-app.

Whenever I run the command, nothing happens (no effect in console and no files created):

I tried to reinstall npm, update node, clean cache, and other things.

Can anyone help with this?

have you install npm correctly?

Its likely that you have missed to wrap the filename with single quotes

as per your command you need to type : npx create-react-app 'hello-world' This will create a react app with name hello-world in your folder named 'trail' and if you want to create the react app in the trail folder itself you should give the command which mentioned below 'npx create-react-app .'

Lets hack it brother

CodePudding user response：

it's

npm create react-app <your-app-name>

if you'd like to use a typescript template, then, it's

npm create react-app <your-app-name> --template typescript
