CodePudding user response：

Have you tried adding sudo in front of your command ?

sudo npm install -g create-react-app

CodePudding user response：

Why are you trying to install this?

If you have npm and node installed you need to simply run the following command in the folder where you wish to create your project.

Note the NPX and not NPM at the start, this isn't a mistake

npx create-react-app <your app name here>

For more information see React Docs

CodePudding user response：

Run this command first to rectify files ownership under /usr/local :

sudo chown -R $(id -un):$(id -gn) /usr/local/*

then rerun npm install...
