Answer 1

I think you will need to have version of Node>=10.16 and version of NPM >=5.6 If this is still not resolved then try this:

1. Clean cache with

• npm cache clean --force

2. Install the latest version of NPM globally as admin:

• npm install -g npm@latest --force

3.clean cache with

• npm cache clean --force

Answer 2

I've never seen the./ inclusion when creating a react app, but that's not to say it's wrong... maybe just follow the docs here and use: npx create-react-app my-app
