After installing nodejs, while creating a new react application I am facing the following issue.

I've tried reinstalling nodejs and maybe that is not the solution.

C:\Users\abhis>npm i create-react-app
npm WARN saveError ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users\abhis\package.json'
npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users\abhis\package.json'
npm WARN abhis No description
npm WARN abhis No repository field.
npm WARN abhis No README data
npm WARN abhis No license field.

The problem is that there is no package.json file, therefore you can't install (npm i) packages.

To create a package.json file try npm init.

However, if you want to create new react app using create-react-app, just execute: npx create-react-app my-app.

you have installed package successfully,

to create app, here is the 2 approach you can use

after installing create react app,

npm init react-app my-app

another approach is,

npx create-react-app my-app

also, have a look at official documentation. https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/

To create a react app using create-react-app you have 2 options:

  • install globally create-react-app using this command: npm install --global create-react-app and then create your react project with: create-react-app project_name
  • the other option which is the recommanded one is by directly creating you app using this command: npx create-react-app project_name. source: https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/

using npm i create-react-app didn't work for you because you don't have a package.json like @SomoKRoceS mentioned.
