I am trying to create a new Vite project with a React template using the following command in my macOS terminal with zsh:

npm create vite@latest ./ -- --template react

However, I am encountering issues when running this command. Could you provide an alternative command or steps to successfully create a Vite project with React on macOS using zsh?

zsh terminal
What I Tried:
Initial Command:I suggested using the npm create vite@latest ./ — –template react command, which is intended to create a new Vite project with a React template in the current directory.
Alternative Approach:Recognizing potential issues with the initial command, I recommended using npx, which is more reliable for one-time package executions without requiring a global installation. The command was npx create-vite@latest ./ –template react.
Step-by-Step Guidance:I provided a detailed sequence of commands to ensure all prerequisites are met, including checking Node.js and npm versions, updating npm, clearing the npm cache, and running the npx command.

What I Was Expecting:
Successful Project Creation:The initial command (npm create vite@latest ./ — –template react) should create a new Vite project with a React template in the specified directory. However, if there are issues, the npx command (npx create-vite@latest ./ –template react) should reliably create the project.
