Problem: 

I am new in react. When I try to create React application, it is giving me this error: 

You are running create-react-app 5.0.0, which is behind the latest release (5.0.1).

So, In this article, we are going to solve this problem.


Solution: 

The problem you are having is because the react no longer supports the global installation of create react app. To solve this first you have to remove any global installation you have. If you are using npm, use this: 

npm uninstall -g create-react-app

If you are using yarn, use this: 

yarn global remove create-react-app

Now to clear the cache

npx clear-npx-cache

After that, you can create your react application:

npx create-react-app@latest your-app-name

Hope this solves your problem. If you have any feedback about the article please comment below.
