Is there any way to use NPM and not Yarn while creating a project with create-react-app

Question

I have both Yarn and NPM installed but whenever I try to create-react-app it automatically uses Yarn.

I tried to run create-react-app app --use-npm but then it created it using an older version of node and NPM.

I then tried updating the node and NPM version and ran npm -v which showed the latest version but again after running create-react-app app --use-npm it got created with older versions devoid of latest features of the create-react-app.

I want to use NPM and create the react app using all the latest versions of node and NPM without removing Yarn from my system. Where I am going wrong and what are the possible solutions?

When you want to use npm, go to the project folder:

Delete yarn.lock
Delete node_modules
Run npm install

It will use the latest npm installed on yours system.

running "npx create-react-app my-app" created the app with yarn and not with npm. I wanted to use npm for this. – Samarth Jain May 19 '20 at 10:08
