    You probably need an app name instead of a directory:

    npx create-react-app <your-app-name>

    If that doesnt work, you can either try elevated permissions or, preferably, change your npm install path to something your user has permissions for:

    npm config set prefix <PATH_NAME>

    If that doesnt work, ask yourself:

    • Does the folder specified in the error exist?
    • Did I install npm as a different user?
    • What terminal am I using? (PowerShell, WSL, cmd)

    That should give you some ideas where to go from there.

    create-react-app must include the app name, remove ‘./’ and mention the name of the app. Hope your error will be resolved then
