Can't create WebStorm React project

You need to install create-react-app npm module, before you use this feature.

npm install -g create-react-app

You can read more about this feature on the official release blog of WebStorm.

Excerpt from the documentation :

Make sure that you have create-react-app installed globally on your computer, for that run npm install -g create-react-app. Then to start your new project, double click on the start task in the npm tasks tool window to run it. That’s it!


I had ie installed create-react-app globally using yarn and webstorm failed to find it. Then I used npm, not to mention globally and its working like a charm.
