How do I initiate Storybook?

Question

I'm following the tutorial here to set up a Storybook

It tells me to run the following commands:

# Create our application:
npx create-react-app taskbox
cd taskbox

# Add Storybook:
npx -p @storybook/cli sb init

However, after the third command it gives me

npm ERR! code ENOLOCAL
npm ERR! Could not install from "<last-name>\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_npx\8504" as it does not contain a package.json file.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\npm- 
cache\_logs\2019-11-04T14_32_25_838Z-debug.log
Install for [ '@storybook/cli@latest' ] failed with code 1

This looks like some kind of cache issue, so I've tried clearing my cache and reinstalling node. But it still doesn't work.

you didn't run npm init ...... package.json file is needed

@mruanova that guide seems to work now. I also tried it earlier and it didn't work then, but that was before I reinstalled node – Robert Nov 04 '19 at 14:52
I added a comment before pointing out that this answer does not answer my question in any way. Someone has removed my comment, and left this answer. I find this quite irritating. Also they removed @mruanova's comment so my surviving comment no longer makes sense. – Robert Mar 09 '20 at 09:13

I faced the same issue and as you mentioned it was related to the cache and I executed below commands and it is working fine

yarn cache clean --force
npx -p @storybook/cli sb init -f
