you need to have node version >=14 and npm >=5.6 use the command npx create-react-app myapp. https://reactjs.org/docs/create-a-new-react-app.html#create-react-app
CodePudding user response：
create one folder for react projects.
open that folder in terminal.(commandline)
And use npx create-react-app yourAppName.
Above error is permission related you dont have permission to create new folder under "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/create-react-app".
If this error still comes use sudo npx create-react-app yourAppName.
CodePudding user response：
For the npm packages you want to install globally, mainly you may encounter permission problems. This can usually be solved by adding sudo at the first of the line. So instead of:
create-react-app yourAppName
You can do this:
sudo npx create-react-app yourAppName
Following your root user password.
Also, to add more, there are some reported problems with the node js version and create react app. you can check the version of node installed in your Mac, by this command at your terminal:
node --version
if the installed version of the Node is 17.X, it can be assumed it is related to the problem.
It is always recommended to use the LTS version.
