I am just beginning my coding journey and I am just starting out with react but when I try creating a new app, I get the following error. It says unexpected end of JSON input.

Installing packages. This might take a couple of minutes.
Installing react, react-dom, and react-scripts...

It is due to the npm cache.

You can solve it by:

npm cache clean --force

Also, make sure your npm is updated to the latest.

npm i npm@latest -g

And try again!!
