  export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/node@20/lib"

  export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/node@20/include"

# verifies the right Node.js version is in the environment

node -v

npm -v 

In case node command etc not working then link it using following command:

% brew link node@20

npx create-react-app little-billi

cd my-app

npm start

If you've previously installed create-react-app globally via npm install -g create-react-app, we recommend you uninstall the package using npm uninstall -g create-react-app or yarn global remove create-react-app to ensure that npx always uses the latest version.

When npm starts the server, Then open http://localhost:3000/ to see your app.
