Create React App Error
Error Message - A template was not provided. This is likely because you're using an outdated version of create-react-app.
Please note that global installs of create-react-app are no longer supported.
Solution
New versions of Create React App doesn't support global installs. Remove it globally.Try npm uninstall -g create-react-app
. Then try again. Didn't work for me. Even after removing create-react-app
globally. If your system has any projects using CRA in parent directory npm will pick up that version.
Try npx --ignore-existing create-react-app my-app
. This will ignore any installs you have in your system.
Final Solution
I had to manually remove CRA from global installs.Windows path - C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Roaming\npm
.Delete file named create-react-app
and create-react-app.cmd
.On Unix systems it should be located in - /usr/local/bin
. Don' forget to remove executable file. For windows it was .cmd
file.
CRA - create-react-app
