Answer 2

For those who keep trying and still doesn't work, you might have the same problem as me.

Because the global installs of create-react-app are no longer supported you might have it installed on your machine, thus have the old version running whenever you try to npx create-react-app. There are 2 very easy steps: remove create-react-app, then run the npx command.

It will look like this:

1. sudo npm rm -g create-react-app (sudo is needed on macs to grant you permission, it will ask for your password, type it in and hit enter)
2. npx create-react-app my-app

Should solve your problem there
