Moving to create-react-app ver 5.0.0

I hate it when someone changes the ways things have been done, and then does not give enough information to move to the new way :(. Create React App has just done this with the upgrade to version 5.0.0

If you try create-react-app with an older version 4 installation you get the very helpful message:

You are runningcreate-react-app` 4.0.3, which is behind the latest release (5.0.0).

We no longer support global installation of Create React App.

Please remove any global installs with one of the following commands:

• npm uninstall -g create-react-app yarn ...`

So I naturally went ahead and did the uninstall :(

`npm uninstall -g create-react-app

up to date, audited 1 package in 488ms

It didn't uninstall the old version, it just did an audit instead. (I assume there are dependencies installed on the version 4 library.

I tried to reinstall create-react-app and flushing the cache - both with and without the -force option. I could not get a new project created.

Finally I had to force install the latest version
`npm install create-react-app@latest
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: This version of tar is no longer supported, and will not receive security updates. Please upgrade asap.

And finally I could successfully do a create-react-app.

PS. Yes, I did do a fix on the vulnerabilities.
