IDE-VS-Code

npx create-react-app was working fine,I wanted to work on a personal project when i run in to a suggestion that Create React App requires Node 14 or higher. I tried updating node using the following commands sudo npm cache clean -f and then sudo npm install -g n then i ran sudo n stable the following was installed installed : v16.13.1 (with npm 8.1.2).When i tried running npx create-react-app I got the following error

Error: Cannot find module 'libnpx'
Require stack:
- /usr/share/npm/bin/npx-cli.js
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:933:15)

  code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND',
  requireStack: [ '/usr/share/npm/bin/npx-cli.js' ]
}

What i tried after getting the error, The solution below; React: create-react-app fails with error "Cannot find module 'lodash'"

How do I approach resolving this problem so that I can get started with my personal project and learning the framework?
