Is this a bug report?

I am unable to setup an environment using the CLI command given in the official page. Its been a couple of days I am trying to get it working by Googling and visiting almost all the Stackoverflow and Github links but no help. :(

Environment

1. node -v: 6.10.2
2. npm -v: 5.4.2

Then, specify:

1. Operating system: Windows 10

Steps to Reproduce

1. create-react-app app-name

Actual Behavior

D:\classes>create-react-app reactify

Did you try clearing your npm cache?
Often these npm bugs can only be fixed by npm, so we cannot help.

My advice to you would be to downgrade to npm@4 if that works for you.

Perfect.! Downgrading npm to version 4 solved the issue.. Thanks
