Unable to get create-react-app to succeed-CodePudding

I'm unable to use create-react-app

 $ npx create-react-app myapp

You are running `create-react-app` 4.0.3, which is behind the latest release (5.0.0).

We no longer support global installation of Create React App.

Please remove any global installs with one of the following commands:
- npm uninstall -g create-react-app

but I don't seem to have create-react-app already installed

$ npm uninstall -g create-react-app

up to date, audited 1 package in 348ms

But yet I still can't install it

npm install create-react-app

What can I do to get the right version of create-react-app installed?

A possible correlation is that I use node version manager because I need the older 11.15.0 version of node for our UI but I also have the latest version of node installed, and I have uninstalled create-react-app in both versions

$ nvm ls
       v11.15.0
->     v16.13.0
         system
default -> lts/* (-> v16.13.0)
node -> stable (-> v16.13.0) (default)
stable -> 16.13 (-> v16.13.0) (default)
iojs -> N/A (default)
unstable -> N/A (default)

I've found success by manually asking for the latest version of create-react-app when running it with npx:

$ npx create-react-app@latest myapp

Try the following, from this answer:

$ npx clear-npx-cache
$ npx create-react-app myapp
