I wanted to start learning React so we could explore web development as a class, but I ran into a wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First I tried running <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#Do not Run this. It is the problem!\nnpx create-react-app<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
But I got all kinds of error messages warning that packages installed were dangerous. So I saw that you should use something like this instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
npx create-next-app@latest<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Worked great on my laptop at home, as expected, it didn’t work on the school computer. npx runs executables and they don’t let us do that. It is a problem I have seen before, and I knew a workaround. Move to the virtual machine! Over on the virtual machine, I tried the command again, but I got some errors. I searched through blogs and nothing was working. Just the same errors again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was about to give up when I saw something stating I need version 18 or higher and I was only on version 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I ran a couple updates<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo apt update\nsudo apt upgrade<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Then I followed the directions from pheonixnap.com and we were in business!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
curl -o- https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/nvm-sh\/nvm\/v0.39.7\/install.sh | bash<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Close then open the terminal, then update node. You can see the current version here<\/a>. At the time I write this, I used 20.11.1<\/p>\n\n\n\n
nvm ls-remote\nnvm install [version.number]\nnvm use [version number]<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Now go ahead and <\/p>\n\n\n\n
npx create-next-app@latest<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
