Looks like you tried to run create-react-app while installing it.

Run npm install -g create-react-app although this should already be installed.

Then run create-react-app amber-web

---

EDIT:

The reason this error out was because you put npm install -g create-react-app create-react-app amber_Web all in one command telling npm to install the create-react-app package twice and the amber_Web package but that package doesn't exist hence the 404 error. * name can no longer contain capital letters
