Instead of using this (npm install -g create-react-app create-react-app) try creating react app using ( npx create-react-app my-app) And for more clarification follow this https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/

Is node js installed on your system if yes then what version is it??

anita shrivastava Over a year ago

I have nodejs v14.5.0 installed

I would suggest you to use LTS(long term support) version -of node js not current version of node js as it might be unstable and might be creating issues.

And also do make sure that you have not changed your installation folder while installing node js and also do check the path variable that is this (C:\Windows\System32) added in your path variable or not. Check this thread github.com/facebook/create-react-app/issues/6950

I solved the issue. The default scripts version is 3.4.1 and it was causing the problem. I installed 2.1.8 and int worked fine. Thanks you alot.
