macOS Big Sur 11.3.1 crashing while running create-react-app

[DiegoHerrera262]

Describe the bug

I installed node (16.1.0) and npm (7.11.2) with nvm (0.38.0), and proceded to create a waeb app with React using the command

npx create-react-app test-app

However, during the installation of the required packages, my computer simply crashes, and restarts. There is no error message. The computer crashes and restarts.

I am using an iMac 2017, with the following specifications:
Processor: 3,4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
Memory: 8 GB 2400 MHz DDR4

I'm fairly new to web dev. And this is my first react project.

You should probably look at the crash logs first. I'm not sure the proper steps on an iMac: https://macreports.com/crash-reports-how-to-use-them-to-troubleshoot-why-your-mac-crashed/ probably.

Look through them first to make sure there's no sensitive information in it, and then post it here if it looks related to create-react-app.

I noticed that the command

npm init react-app myapp

Worked well when the root is not an external storage file. I was creating the project on an external disk all the times my computer crashed (Sandisk SD Card 32GB). I tried some tests on the internal memory if my device and the command works.

Unfortunately, my console log has no register of the crashes that involved create-react-app. I reported the crashes to apple , though.

Thanks in advance.
