How to solve error: Cannot find module 'json-parse-helpfulerror'

Question

In Windows, I tried to create a new application form of this site: https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/installation.html

First, I installed Node.js v8.2.1 and when I execute npm install -g create-react-app, I get the following error:

npm ERR! code MODULE_NOT_FOUND
npm ERR! Cannot find module 'json-parse-helpfulerror'

npm-debug.log:
