npx create-react-app my-app not responding

Question

I am trying to run npx create-react-app my-app in Ubuntu and it doesn't respond at all rather just keeps the terminal engaged unless I cancel via Ctrl+C

Shell

I have removed and reinstalled node and npm.

Node: v18.18.2 npm: 9.8.1 Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS

Answer 1

So, the problem was fixed by downgrading from node18 to 16.

Answer 2

You did not pass the name of your project to the CL in the image you are showing.

npx create-react-app my-app

instead of:

npx create-react-app
