So after typing

npx create-react-app myapp

I get this error

How to update the node engine? Could it be something else?

Thanks, Theo.

CodePudding user response：

It says your current version of node is 12.13.0 and you need at least 12.22.0.

The current version of Node is 16.15.0 You can download an updated one at https://nodejs.org/en/download/

CodePudding user response：

You're using a wrong version of node.

IMHO the best way to manage the node version is using nvm.

Nvm is a tool used to switch easy the node version.

Unix version Windows version

In your case you have to:

• Uninstall node
• install nvm
• nvm install 12.13.0
• nvm install 16.15.0
• nvm use 16.15.0
• try again npx create-react-app myapp
