after hitting enter button it shows following error.

PS C:\Users\Muhammad Hafizullah\react_project> npx create-react-app newPro Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, mkdir 'C:\Users\Muhammad' command not found: create-react-app"

Did you try npx create-react-app YOUR_APP_NAME? – Nitesh Jul 28 '21 at 05:20 — Nitesh, Jul 28 '21 at 05:20

Windows Username with spaces/symbols causes error in installation it had happened to me the solution to this is Creating a local admin account that's just a single string with no symbols or spaces, logging into that account, and then running the npx command worked perfectly.

Installing ReactJs on a Windows machine with a users/ path that contains spaces and or an & causes a bug to happen in which npx/npm can't properly parse the path to the module, therefore throwing a can't find module error.
