I am trying to update the create-react-app to its latest version. In the docs, they have mentioned using the below command to update the react scripts to 5.0.0.
sudo npm i create-react-app#5.0.0
I wonder if there is any way to update create-react-app to its latest stable released version without knowing the exact version.
Updating your an existing project build tooling is typically a daunting and time-consuming task. When new versions of Create React App are released, you can upgrade using a single command:
npm install react-scripts#latest
In most cases bumping the react-scripts version in package.json and running npm install (or yarn install) should be enough.
When you run npx create-react-app my-app it automatically installs the latest version of Create React App.
Create React App creates the project with the latest version of react-scripts so you’ll get all the new features and improvements in newly created apps automatically.
If you've previously installed create-react-app globally via npm install -g create-react-app, we recommend you uninstall the package using npm uninstall -g create-react-app or yarn global remove create-react-app to ensure that npx always uses the latest version.

I am using the command npx create-react-app React-app, but it shows me the following error.
You are running `create-react-app` 4.0.1, which is behind the latest release (5.0.1).
We no longer support global installation of Create React App.
I tried npx create-react-app#5.0.1 React-app, but it didnt work as well.
I have updated versions of npm and node.
npx clear-npx-cache
you can try this one and also check this post where you can find possible solutions : "You are running create-react-app 4.0.3 which is behind the latest release (5.0.0)"
You are using older global version of creat-react-app.
Please Kindly check the global version and update the version with below command
npm install -g create-react-app#5.0.1
or
npm install -g create-react-app#latest
Note : As you can see in the error there is no need to install creat-react-app globally so you can also uninstall the creat-react-app globally using below command
npm uninstall -g create-react-app
name of the project must be start whit lowwercase
So, I want to start a react project and I run npx create-react-app myapp and I get this.
You are running `create-react-app` 4.0.3, which is behind the latest release (5.0.0).
We no longer support global installation of Create React App.
Please remove any global installs with one of the following commands:
- npm uninstall -g create-react-app
- yarn global remove create-react-app
The latest instructions for creating a new app can be found here:
https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/
I updated the package, I uninstalled it and reinstalled it locally, and I get the same error.
NPM and Node are updated too.
How do I fix this?
You can not do this because of the npm create react app v5 update.
npm uninstall -g create-react-app
create-react-app my-app
You do not need to install it globally.
npx comes with npm 5.2+. You are currently using the older version. Try the following code:-
npm uninstall -g create-react-app
This removes an already installed one.
npm install -g create-react-app
This is for re-installing
create-react-app my-app
While creating a new react app using npx create-react-app my-app i am getting this error saying "You are running create-react-app 4.0.3, which is behind the latest release (5.0.0).
We no longer support global installation of Create React App." How can i solve this. Even tried using the uninstall command
create-react-app error
If you've previously installed create-react-app globally via npm install -g create-react-app, it's recommended you uninstall the package using npm uninstall -g create-react-app or yarn global remove create-react-app to ensure that npx always uses the latest version.
You’ll need to have Node 14.0.0 or a later version on your local development machine (but it’s not required on the server). Its recommend to use the latest LTS version. You can use nvm (macOS/Linux) or nvm-windows to switch Node versions between different projects.
Moreover Here is the Documentation
You must first update the node version
and run
npx create-react-app app-name
As per the title, I don't want to use
npx create-react-app app-name
, because that command installs react (17x) and react-scripts (4.x)
I tried
npm init react-app app-name --scripts-version 3.4.4
, but even though it installs react-scripts (v3.4.4), it still installs react (17.x)
Also, this gives another error:
error : Cannot find module 'cra-template'
EDIT: To clarify, I want to use CRA for sure.
Just not with the current versions of react-17, react-dom-17, and react-scripts-4
I also don't want to waste time installing v17.x, and v4.x, delete them manually, modify package.json to the versions I want, and npm (re-)install. That will work, but it's not the point.
npm init react-app appname --scripts-version <XX.XX.XX>
or sudo npm init react-app appname --scripts-version <XX.XX.XX>
The version number <XX.XX.XX> is for react-scripts to generate a specific react-app based on dependent version of the initiated react-scripts module.
You will have to do some legwork to see which react-scripts version relates to the specific react version when initializing a building of a new react-app.
React Versions: https://reactjs.org/versions/
React Scripts Versions: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-scripts
If it keeps installing the newest React version
Enter npm uninstall react,
Then npm install react#XX.XX.XX
Where XX.XX.XX is your target number
You will have to do the same for react-dom (same ver# as react) and react-scripts.
Also the #testing-library dependencies may also need uninstalling (There should be 3 on instantiation - they will not work with previous versions (pre-v17 React))
I came across this exact same problem today, and that was my solution.
I'm following one of the tutorial for reactjs. Now one of the topic is to check the version of my react-script in the package.json file. When I checked it's in version 0.9.5 but the instructor's copy is in 1.0+ now I want to upgrade my version my running npm install react-script#latest now it successfully updated to 2.0.5 but when I tried to create a new app using create-react-app myproject it's still using the 0.9.5 how can I install a new app with the latest version of react-scripts?
You are updating the local version of create-react-app but then you're using the global one.
You should follow the official documentation about this: https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started
The main points are:
Ensure you have npm > 5.2
If you've previously installed create-react-app globally via npm install -g create-react-app, we recommend you uninstall the package using npm uninstall -g create-react-app to ensure that npx always uses the latest version.
