Fix the Error: "You are running `create-react-app` 4.0.3, which is behind the latest release (5.0.0). We no longer support global installation"

I ran into the error below a few days ago while trying to create a new react application;

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.

From my research, this error can be fixed in these 3 steps;

• First, remove any global installation with this command

  npm uninstall -g create-react-app
  

• Then, clear your npx cache by executing

  npx clear-npx-cache
  

• Finally, run the create-react-app(cra) command

  npx create-react-app my-app
  

  To install react with typescript, follow the first two steps above and then execute the cra command with typescript template flag

  npx create-react-app client --template typescript
  

  With all these in place, you should be able to create a new react application successfully.
