Error while trying: yarn create vite / yarn create vite my-react-app --template react

Question

I've installed yarn in my Windows 10 using the command npm install --global yarn and checked the version using yarn --version , It's showing the version info in the cmd. And then I tried to create a vite app using the command : yarn create vite but It shows the below error in the cmd. Please give me the solution if you know. I tried uninstalling and re-installing yarn but the same error happens. Thank you.

Here is the error in cmd:

C:\DevProjects>yarn create vite

Answer 1

I had the same problem and couldn't find a way to solve it through the CLI.

If you really insist on using Vite/Yarn combo, here is how I did it:

1. Manually go to (this is the directory from your question) C:\Users\Graphic Doctor\AppData\Local\Yarn\bin\create-vite and manually start the create-vite.cmd
2. A new Command Prompt window will pop-up, just follow the instructions.
3. After you're done, your project will be ready and located in C:\Users\Graphic Doctor\AppData\Local\Yarn\bin, just manually move it wherever you like.

Good luck!

Answer 2

building on top of @a-rsv's answer, So I was able to successfully run the command by running as below

"C:\Users\Graphic Doctor\AppData\Local\Yarn\bin\create-vite.cmd"

I just executed the .cmd file. This will run the cmd in the current directory so you won't have to move anything after. You need to wrap the command with double quotes if you have spaces in the path.
