Error with npx create-react-app in Ubuntu

Question

I have an issue trying to run npx create-react-app, this is the output:

You are running Node 8.10.0. Create React App requires Node 10 or higher. Please update your version of Node.

I tried to install and uninstall nodejs, the version that I have is v8.10.0, that's what I got running sudo apt install nodejs

Am I missing something?

For me, this worked

sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable

You can update your node version using npm which gets installed with NodeJS.

first clear the npm cache:

npm cache clean -f

then Install n, Node’s version manager:

npm install -g n

and at last, use: n [version.number] or n stable in your CLI.
