Problem - npm start

Hello. I have a problem. I have created a project using “npx crate-react-app appname”. This is ok. But, when i enter “npm start”, it shows me this:

Starting the development server…

I had a similar issue with unity a couple of months ago, i solved it adding this line at the end of the PATH enviroment varible.

C:\Windows\System32

hope that this works for you.

@mateo500 Hey, forgot to inform, it started working. I think it was some permission issues, I run my command prompt as administrator and then install create-react-app and then create an app and if I run, it runs. But, i’ll even try as you said, just to make sure that I don’t get into trouble in future!

Thanks 😃
