The project cannot create given error are display.

Answer 1

I had this issue because my node package wasn't up-to-date. I got this error message:

error [email protected]: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version "^8.10.0 || ^10.13.0 || >=11.10.1". Got "11.10.0"

After some Googling around I stumbled upon this... https://www.surrealcms.com/blog/how-to-upgrade-or-downgrade-nodejs-using-npm.html

And found that my solution was to use this npm command to update the latest stable version of node.

sudo n stable

A Voilà! 🎉🎉🎉

Answer 2

The problem is clearly due to incompatible node version.

Install a program called n that will let you switch between Node versions.

sudo npm install -g n

Update to the latest stable version of Node.

sudo n stable

Now use create-react-app

npm install create-react-app

create-react-app myapp
