Need help with create-react-app error: Cannot find module '@babel/register'

[windedge2003]

Hey ,

I am a new starter who is trying to learn react.js.
I got following error when I was trying to run creat-react-app:

npx create-react-app my-app
npx: installed 67 in 8.507s

Creating a new React app in C:\SourceCode\my-app.

Installing packages. This might take a couple of minutes.
Installing react, react-dom, and react-scripts with cra-template...

[email protected] postinstall C:\SourceCode\my-app\node_modules\babel-runtime\node_modules\core-js
node -e "try{require('./postinstall')}catch(e){}"

I tried to install @babel/register globally and it didn't help at all,

any suggestions?

thanks
