I have running: -npm cache clean --force
Deleted node_modules and lock-package.json and run npm install but still got me that error

Answer 1

Try this answer
or run npm i -g npm#8.5.1
i think it's an issue with npm version , 8.5.1 solves the problem in most cases
basically try earlier versions and i think the problem will be solved

Answer 2

I faced this error some days ago. I changed the timeout and it works for me. (Note: my npm version is 8.19.1)
You can try this solution with other npm versions as well.
First of all, check the current settings. For checking the current settings run npm config ls -l or grep fetch
Then, check these 4 values (fetch-retries, fetch-retry-factor, fetch-retry-maxtimeout, fetch-retry-mintimeout, fetch-timeout)
$ npm config ls -l | grep fetch
fetch-retries = 2
fetch-retry-factor = 10
fetch-retry-maxtimeout = 60000
fetch-retry-mintimeout = 10000
fetch-timeout = 300000
For changing the time out, Run these two commands-
npm config set fetch-retry-mintimeout 20000
npm config set fetch-retry-maxtimeout 120000

Answer 3

I faced this problem recently. I tried many solutions like npm cache verify, npm cache clean --force, npm config set fetch-retry-mintimeout, npm config set fetch-retry-maxtimeout, deleting package-lock.json, using different version of npm and/or node.
But the solution that worked for me was to switch to yarn.

Answer 4

I solved this by setting a timeout of 60000 for npm in the .npmrc file. To do that from your terminal, simply do the following:
$ nano .npmrc from your work directory if you want a configuration locally.
Add timeout=60000, save and you're good to go.

Answer 5

You can resolve this using YARN package manager. yarn create react-app my-app
hope it help.

Answer 6

I am not sure if this will help anyone else, but what appears to have worked for me was dropping my company's VPN connection and reestablishing it!

Answer 7

In my scenario, it was the yarn.lock file availability. So the installer tried to fetch dependencies and threw an error since the response time was delayed. So deleted both yarn.lock and package.lock file and reinstalled after setting npm to npm#8.5.1

Answer 8

I found solution for it, which works great for me
1.npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/
2.npm i or npm i --save --legacy-peer-deps

Answer 9

Try removing proxy settings by running the commands below:
$ npm config rm proxy
$ npm config rm https-proxy

Answer 10

mine worked using these steps, hope it works for you too.
npm cache clean --force
npm uninstall -g create-react-app
npm uninstall create-react-app
and then
npx create-react-app project-app
if it does not then probably your internet connection is poor or there is a proxy set up error. let me know if it does not work.
