Some of this information is unnecessary, can we make it more in line with the npx header?
npm
npm init react-app my-app(npm init comes with npm 6+ and higher, see instructions for older npm versions)

Do we even need this section if they have npm 5+?
Should we only recommend npx since it's available in both npm 5/6?

I think it makes sense to recommend it as an alternative as long as we're clear that it's only available in npm 6+.

Was this line here before? I think it should be removed.

One thing I've noticed is that if you have create-react-app installed to a previous version (eg 1.4.1) npx and npm init will just use that version instead of latest. |

Hows that looking? |
