I am not able to start the next step because of these issues. I don’t understand why npm is giving this issue is there any problem with my installation.

You probably don’t have your node modules directory in your path. Does this work with npx?

npx create-react-app my-app

This is the issue is mainly caused by two reasons:

1. Path variable issue
2. Npm version issue (5.6.0 above)

if node version is correct and still getting same issue, try adding following path to environment variable, add correct path from ur system. C:\Users\vchaudhari\AppData\Roaming\npm.

close all command prompt windows and reopen sometimes system restart also requires for windows
