Your command cannot succeed, because npm fails to fetch some module due to internet connection problems. You can try using different internet connection or increasing npm fetch timeouts.

I just had this issue and it helped changing timeouts:

npm config set fetch-retry-mintimeout 20000
npm config set fetch-retry-maxtimeout 120000

You can find default values running:

npm config ls -l

This worked for me but my internet is slow so I had to increase the durations to 2000000 and 12000000 respectively. – Joe Mar 18 '22 at 14:46
The maxtimeout value 2000000 and 12000000 resolved. – Paul Bradbury Apr 04 '22 at 00:42

Have you tried this :

- npm config rm proxy
- npm config rm https-proxy

Solve the error for me.

The registry URL is pointing to 'https'. There are chances you might be using a proxy that is blocking secure connections

Run npm config set registry="http://registry.npmjs.org/" and then try creating the app.

The command npm get registry shows the current URL it is pointing to.

It works for Windows:-

npm config delete proxy
npm config delete https-proxy

While this code may answer the question, providing additional context regarding how and/or why it solves the problem would improve the answer's long-term value. – CascadiaJS Jan 18 '22 at 22:53
That package is deprecated ([source](https://www.npmjs.com/package/source-map-resolve)). – Jeremy Caney Jan 19 '22 at 01:26

Pls close and reopen your command shell after you just installed node js library. That's worked well for me.
