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

When I am trying to create the new React application, it’s showing below error:

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

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/

Why “You are running create-react-app 5.0.0, which is behind the latest release (5.0.1). ” Error is Shown

As mentioned in error itself, it is basically shown because of no longer official support for Create React App 5.0.0 version is available. Recently, React has officially stopped the global installation support for Create React App 5.0.0 version.

How to Fix “You are running create-react-app 5.0.0, which is behind the latest release (5.0.1). ” Error

If you are using the npm, first run the below command to uninstall global React:

npm uninstall -global create-react-app

Clear the cache using below command:

npx clear-npx-cache

Now Create the React application again using below command:

npx create-react-app@latest my-app

Hope it should solve the “You are running create-react-app 5.0.0, which is behind the latest release (5.0.1).” Error.

If you are using Yarn, use the below command:

yarn global remove create-react-app
