I want to run create react app. I run the command:

npx create-react-app client

but I get this error:

You are running Node 10.9.0. Create React App requires Node 14 or higher. Please update your version of Node.

I updated it with latest version and using node -v it is showing version v18.13.0. But after that I'm still getting same error.

How do I solve the problem?

Things to try when this sort of thing happens:

• If you haven't already, close the command prompt / terminal window where you're running this and open a new one.

• If that doesn't work, completely reboot (mostly a Windows thing).

• If that doesn't work, completely uninstall Node.js, reboot (mostly a Windows thing), and then install the latest.

Usually if the first two don't solve the problem, the last will.

You can manually define which Node engine to use for your project in package.json file.
