Global CRA uninstall: npm uninstall -g create-react-app

Since create-react-app 3.3.0 it’s not longer recommended to use a global installation of CRA.

However, after following the recommended way, uninstalling CRA globally and using npm,I ran into the following problem for my new React project:

A template was not provided. This is likely because you're using an outdated version of create-react-app.

It seems like CRA wasn’t properly uninstalled. I had to do the following:

After uninstalling it with npm uninstall -g create-react-app, check whether you still have it “installed” with which create-react-app on your command line. If it returns something (e.g. /usr/local/bin/create-react-app), then do a rm -rf /usr/local/bin/create-react-app to delete manually.

Afterward, I was able to use npx create-react-app my-app with the latest version of CRA where I would have the default template for the src/ folder.

hmmm in my machine it’s worked with yarn, but not with npx.

So I tried this with npx and it’s worked: npx create-react-app@3.3.0 your-project-name or npx create-react-app@latest your-project-name

node : 10.16.3 npx : 6.9.0 npm : 6.9.0

npx create-react-app@latest your-project-name --use-npm
