[SOLVED] Why am I getting errors with npx?

Why am I getting errors with npx?

everytime when I run any npx command it gives me the same error. Except when I run: npx -v then it gives me the version: 9.2.0

here is the error:

npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall lstat
npm ERR! path E:\Development
npm ERR! errno -4058
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat 'E:\Development'
npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
npm ERR! enoent

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     C:\Users\Tim\AppData\Local\npm-cache\_logs\2023-01-02T20_03_57_627Z-debug-0.log

I have updated npm with nvm but that didnt make a change.

I want to run npx create-react-app myApp or npx create-electron-app myApp but every command gives me the same error. Can somebody help me to get rid of this error ?

Solution

I had the same problem so I just did this "mkdir %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\npm" and then everything worked. Seems some sort of setup bug probably because I installed NPM from a different user account on the machine.
