Unable to create React typescript project - reactjs

Hi I always get the following error while creating typescript based react project, and the project gets created with .js files instead.
I have tried to reinstall the create-react-app utility but did not work.

Try updating your local create-react-app version to >=2.1
npm update -g create-react-app
Then create your react app with typescript using below command.
create-react-app my-app --typescript
Note : using npx has a conflict with the global version of installed create-react-app. You can also try clearing your npm cache.

npm: Why is it giving an error with "node-pre-gyp"?

I have created a new Angular project and I ran npm i.
As soon as I did that, some installs were successful until I got the following error on my Terminal.
I have already uninstalled node-gyp and re-installed.

I was hoping for npm i to run smoothly, but instead, I received that error.
Your project uses (probably indirectly) a native module. Since it doesn't have a pre-built module for the combination of your OS and Node version, npm attempts to build it locally. It eventually fails with this error:
gyp ERR! stack Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/Users/isaac/Desktop/Tutorials/Angular/ng-refresher/node_modules/fsevents/build'
Make sure the user you're using to run npm install has the permissions to create that directory, and rerun npm install.

Has anyone managed to get Botium working with Cucumber for Java?

I've tried my best to get Botium to work with BDD so I can see if its useful but the only BDD example I've come across is this https://github.com/codeforequity-at/botium-bdd-samples/
But I'm unable to install the dependencies with NPM install so I was wondering if its possible to get Botium to work with cucumber for java on intellij?
I've tried to install botium with the js example but I continue to get errors with NPM

If anyone is able to either help me solve the issue with NPM or explain how to use Botium with cucumber for Java that would be helpful.
Botium Core is a Node.js library, so using it with Java is tricky, but not impossible: Botium supports a special "Grid mode", where it runs in the background and exposes a HTTP/JSON interface - see here for more info.
For your installation problem, here some hints what you can try - obviously the node-gyp package fails:
* remove the node_modules folder and the package-lock.json file and run npm install again
* run "npm install -g node-gyp" with admin privileges
* run "npm install -g windows-build-tools" with admin privileges
(see https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp)

Can't resolve "re-base" react.js + firebase, error installing re-base

I'm trying to link my firebase on my react.js app (I also use Redux).
I installed react-rebase and in my file base.js I'm trying to import Rebase from 're-base' (as in the doc https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-rebase). But, when I start my app, I have this error "Can't resolve 're-base'" and I don't understand why...
Could you help me please ?
Thanks and sorry for English mistakes
edit : when I tried to install directly re-base, I have errors and this is the debug.log

Canvas/ChartJs dependency on Cairo

Why is there a dependency of installing Cairo for using Canvas/ChartJS? I am using OSX / Mac. I am running into issues which installing this project for Charts. I have seen some stackoverflow threads where the resolution is to install the system level libraries of Cairo.

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `cairo.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

Check that you have python 2.5 installed, seems like npm can't use python 3.x
If I'm not wrong, you need a python version which is 2.5 or higher but lower than 3.0.
Check npm doc for more.
