After a long days without luck, finally found a great solution and able to run the command npx create-react app awesome-app, npm init react-app awesome-app and create-react-app awesome-app with npm or yarn as well

The culprit was .npmrc file that was located on your user home dir Users/you/.npmrc. once you remove the files, or remove the contents you should be able to init the CRA2 now.

Happy hacking!

Seems like an npm bug but glad that there is a workaround.

If all else fails, install Yarn, and CRA will use Yarn instead.

man, the workaround you mentioned wasn’t helping me (because i don’t have an .npmrc file), but the other thing you mentioned is a 2nd workaround & it did help me - installing yarn solved the problem.
