[Solved] npm WARN config global `--global`, `--local` are deprecated. Use `--location=global` instead. npm ERR! Unexpected token '.'

Problem:

While I am trying to use the global command with -g Just trying to install create a new react app with npm install -g command But I am facing the following warning:

npm WARN config global `–global`, `–local` are deprecated. Use `–location=global` 

Solution:

Use This Command

npm install --location=global create-react-app

Instead of

npm install -g create-react-app

or

~go to C:\Program Files\nodejs

~you have to edit 4 files named npm, npm.cmd, npx, npx.cmd

~open files in vs code

~replace prefix -g with prefix --location=global in all four files

~save all (if asked save as admin)
