How to create a react app without admin credentials in Windows?
I am a newbie to React and I work on in a corporation where they do not give you admin credentials to your working PC but you can call IT-support and get them to type a few commands in command terminal and install the software.
So they have installed node.js and run a simple npm i -g create-react-app under administrator privileges.
But when I run npx create-react-app my_app without admin credentials, I fail after a long installation.
So is there anyway to download the basic react app to get started, or make IT-support write a few command lines or is it impossible to develop React without admin credentials?

Don't install create-react-app as a global package (-g). Then you'll find it innode_modules/.bin/create-react-app.

You'd better insist on giving the admin to you, or you will have to write tickets on helpdesk every time you need to install something like docker/npm packages or update env. variables. Cheers!

I too work at a large corporation with locked-down machines, and we have limited admin privileges. You probably aren't going to get very far asking for full admin access. You are better to work with the IT/security team to figure out exactly what is failing and where so they can figure out the best approach. Yes, I get that it's frustrating. We went through a period where everynpm installwould fail after a long wait, but we've got through that and now things run smoothly without full admin
