[CharlesIrvineKC]

If you are reporting a bug, please fill in below. Otherwise feel free to remove this template entirely.

Can you reproduce the problem with npm 4.x?

Yes

Description

When running create-react-app I get:

Creating a new React app in /Users/charlesirvine/tmp/slate-editor.

Installing packages. This might take a couple minutes.
Installing react-scripts...

Expected behavior

Should not get this output.

Actual behavior

Tell us what actually happens.

Environment

Run these commands in the project folder and fill in their results:

1. npm ls react-scripts (if you haven’t ejected):

~/tmp $ npm ls react-scripts
/Users/charlesirvine
└── (empty)

2. node -v:
   v8.1.2

3. npm -v:
   4.6.1 - the problem also occurs with v 5.
   Then, specify:

4. Operating system:
   macOS Sierra version 10.12.5

5. Browser and version:
   na

Reproducible Demo

Any invocation of create-react-app results in this output.

with npm@5 the output is somewhat different:

Have you tried with Node 7?

[CharlesIrvineKC]

It seems that version 7 isn’t supported by brew, the mac package manager that I use. Homebrew/homebrew-core#14118 <Homebrew/homebrew-core#14118> Do you have reason to believe that version 7 would fix the problem?

[gaearon]

Since it used to not be a problem and Node 8 came out recently I am assuming this might be a Node 8 specific regression.

[Timer]

This is a specific-to Node 8 issue and was resolved via PR #2550. Just pending release afaik, but we should probably test it actually fixes it.

Basically, Node 8 builds are only available on newer versions of fsevents.

@LeeCheneler

Please downgrade to npm to npm 4 and try again:

npm i -g npm@4

[CharlesIrvineKC]

I down graded to version 4 as the first step in creating this ticket. The output using npm@4 is shown below. Notice that it is somewhat different than the output for npm@5.

Hmm. The log says:

I wonder why, given that you say you're trying with Node 7.

[CharlesIrvineKC]

No, I am using node@8. I haven't used version 7 since it's not supported by brew, the Mac package manager.

[gaearon]

Ah sorry, I thought I was replying to previous poster.

Yes, this error is expected with Node 8. As noted in #2613 (comment), it's a known issue we're working to fix.

It might be an npm problem. I was having this problem and just ran $npm i -g npm@3.10.8 and I am able to run $create-react-app fine now.

If I run :

sudo npm -i -g npm@3.10.8

and then run create-react-app errors turn into warnings, I get :

npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: fsevents@1.0.17 (node_modules/react-scripts/node_modules/fsevents):
npm WARN notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Unsupported platform for fsevents@1.0.17: wanted {"os":"darwin","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"linux","arch":"x64"})
npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: fsevents@^1.0.0 (node_modules/chokidar/node_modules/fsevents):
npm WARN notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Unsupported platform for fsevents@1.1.2: wanted {"os":"darwin","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"linux","arch":"x64"})

Please note that, running create-react-app with latest npm does produce the react folder structure and I can run npm start which opens the starter app in the browser correctly. Since I am new to react, I am not sure what will not work without fsevents.
