Answer 1

I think you are using Windows, I came across the same problem and it's because of a security feature in your system.

1. Open powershell as an administrator.
2. Run the following command set-executionpolicy remotesigned
3. Try again.

This worked for me.

Answer 2

Make sure you remove create-react-app from npm globally and use npx create-react-app {project_name} to generate a react app.

npm uninstall --global create-react-app
npx create-react-app sample

also, make sure that your npm version is after 5.2 while doing these.

Run power shell as admin

1. Windows Start

6. Select/Type yes [Y]

Answer 4

try this command : npx create-react-app yourappname

Answer 5

This error comes because Microsoft changed some PowerShell execution policies for your security.

We can create react app from mainly two places.

1. Command Prompt - You can easily create new react project without facing any issue.
2. Powershell terminal in Visual code - If you not disables new policies of powershell yet then you will face such problem. You need follow some steps to disable these security features.

• Run power shell as administrator
• Type set-executionpolicy remotesigned
• There will be 5 options.
• You need to type Y (for [Y] Yes) and click Enter button.
• Now you will be able to create react app in your visual code.

Hope it will work for you.
