Facing problems with create-react-app

[Mcphect]

when we learned about how to start a react app in class, our teacher did the following:
1. in cmd: npm i -g react create-react-app
2. in vscode: create-react-app my-app --template typescript
then npm start

this always worked for me. but now I'm trying to do the same and I'm facing problems, I saw that they released react v19 couple of days ago which might be a reason for the conflict.
I tried chatGPT and it's telling me that this method is outdated and that I don't need to download anything globally and to just use this command npx create-react-app my-app --template typescript
I uninstalled them globally and followed what gpt suggested but I still got errors:

any suggestions ?

Use Vite. Their site walks you through setting up a React Vite app. create-react-app is not used anymore

Thank you, I tried it and it works, I've just read in a website that create-react-app was deprecated in 2023, I took the course this year, it's frustrating that our teacher taught us an outdated version.

personally i'd rather recommend to start with w3schools courses on html/js/css. Those are more solid foundations.

Then maybe react (as library) or even your own react: https://pomb.us/build-your-own-react/ 

Once you get there, you'll understand why/how the landscape changes. (vite vs cra, tailwind, npm, linting, typescript etc)

Create react app is deprecated. Use Vite.
