Answer 1

Try to update the npm package:

npm install -g npm

And then install create react app again:

npm install -g create-react-app

And create the project again

Answer 2

I fixed it in three steps:

1. npm uninstall -g crete-react-app

2. yarn global add create-react-app

3. yarn create react-app my-app

It will work!
