Question

I am trying to create a React App and I am getting the following error in my console.

Installing packages. This might take a couple of minutes.
Installing react, react-dom, and react-scripts...

I have tried brew upgrade node but that didn't seem to work. Any ideas on how this can be fixed would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I was facing the same issue, try to add "--use-npm" at the end of create react app commend.

create-react-app appname --use-npm

Answer 2

One of the temporally fix is to run yarn install --ignore-engines

Answer 3

I had the same problem, simply doing this solved the problem:

 npm install node@latest

Answer 4

Try to uninstall yarn and install it via npm.

1. npm i create-react-app -g
2. create-react-app yourappname Make sure that node is installed!
