create react app error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'split' of undefined

Question

I just created a folder called client and ran the command

npx create-react-app ./

After that, when I run

npm start

I am getting the following error.

TypeError: Cannot read property 'split' of undefined

I haven't modified any files from the default create-react-app, yet I am not able to run it. Any help is appreciated.

You will need to write

npx create-react-app client

the above line will create a react project under the folder 'client' you don't have to manually create any thing

look into the documentation if you need
