title: Error installing create-react-app with npm
body: <p>When I try to install create-react-app (or nodemon) globally or even within a project, I get the following error. However, I can install other packages perfectly fine both globally and locally. I think it has something to do with the fact that both create-react-app and nodemon are run from the terminal rather than used within a project's code.</p>
  
  <p>I have already tried reinstalling nodejs and opening the terminal as administrator, but that did not work.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ npm i -D nodemon
