I'm trying to create a react app in my client folder but I'm getting an error. The first command I ran was:

1. cd client

Then I ran

2. yarn create react-app ./`

Answer 1

I think you should instead run

yarn create react-app .

If you can't do it with yarn, I'll suggest you to try with npx or npm, like this:

npx create-react-app .

or

npm init react-app .

That . specifies the location for the react app to be initialized.
