npm install -g create-react-app fails

[Hypothesis-github]

I am trying to create a new react project with

npm install -g create-react-app create-react-app my-app

but I get an error as such :

[3/4] Linking dependencies... [4/4] Building fresh packages... [1/1] ⡀ uglifyjs-webpack-plugin [-/1] ⡀ waiting... [-/1] ⡀ waiting... [-/1] ⡀ waiting... error C:\Users\shaha\my-app\node_modules\uglifyjs-webpack-plugin: Command failed. Exit code: 1 Command: node lib/post_install.js Arguments: Directory: C:\Users\shaha\my-app\node_modules\uglifyjs-webpack-plugin Output: internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:550 throw err; ^

I am using NPM version

C:\Users\shaha>npm --version 5.6.0

and since it installs all the dependencies , it is painstaking for me to go through every configuration manually with yarn

same deal is faced with

npx create-react-app my-app

could you help me overcome this issue ?

Can you check if this npx -p create-react-app -c "create-react-app my-app --use-npm" works for you?

I don't understand what this means.

If you're experiencing npm bugs, you can install Yarn. Then you can run yarn create react-app myapp and it will use Yarn automatically.

Unfortunately we can't fix npm bugs. What you describe looks like one.

Yarn has also failed me

I had another weird error with create-react-app breaking down. Confirming - That command worked! Wonderful! Thank you very much.
