Solution 1
To make this run..You need to run my cmd as an administrator.
So run the below commands:
Run cmd as administrator
Run npm config edit (You will get notepad editor)
Change prefix variable to C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Roaming\npm
Then npm start works in a normal console.
OR

Try installing it globally first, using the command
npm install -g create-react-app
And then, you can create your app using the command,
npx create-react-app <Name of your app>
