A template was not provided. This is likely because you're using an outdated version of create-react-app.
Please note that global installs of create-react-app are no longer supported.
You can fix this by running npm uninstall -g create-react-app or yarn global remove create-react-app before using create-react-app again.

Ao iniciar um projeto React via npx create-react-app <nome-projeto>, ele é criado de maneira incompleta, contendo apenas a pasta node_modules e os arquivos package.json e package-lock.json. Já tentei várias soluções (segue abaixo cada uma delas), mas nenhuma resolveu o problema:

• verificar se a dependência create-react-app estava instalada globalmente e, caso estivesse, dar npm uninstall -g create-react-app;
• desinstalar o node da máquina e reinstalá-lo;
• atualizar npm via npm install npm -g npm@latest;
• limpar cache do npm via npm cache clean --force;
• desinstalar a pasta node_modules na raíz do meu usuário Nicolas.

Como resolver este problema?
