Failure to create new app about create-react-app-typescript HOT 3 CLOSED

Hey, no worries. Yeah saw that conversation, wasn't clear to me what was going on, seems multiple people with different errors but potentially the same issue although the error we've got here in this issue was fixed when the OP upgraded npm as KamranMackey "suggested". When you say:

conversation around npm versions, but it seems as you've tried two versions it might be something else

I'm confused as I think it's definitely something to do with how different versions of npm behave right? As it's working for the moment and this is more pressing I won't be able to try installing with yarn for a while but will try when I can reprioritise it. Regardless, thank you very much for your prompt reply 👍 😄 (Out of interest, what version of npm and node are you running?)

Hey @AJamesPhillips, thanks for reporting this! After a quick google this seems to be an issue with npm itself. When you create a new react-app it installs a bunch of packages using npm so I assume it's because of that.

If you look here, there seems to be a bunch of conversation around npm versions, but it seems as you've tried two versions it might be something else. Are you able to install using yarnpkg, I think CRA will use yarn by default if it's installed.

Currently I have

→ node -v
v7.3.0
→ npm -v
3.10.10

and it's working fine. That is on OS X though so guess it's OS specific.
