Hi @chunaj17,
It is not able to find the file/directory. Just try closing your code editor window and open it again and then try running the command in terminal. Let us know how it goes.

I was running a similar error when running npx create-react-app ./ . I noticed that the directory I initially created the app in was limited to space/limited privileges. So I made the app using npx create-react-app ./ with a folder with much space and more rights.

Works like a charm 💯

Doing this on a new project might result in deleting the folder. I just noticed that!!, may be different elsewhere.
