[ifralou]

Same here, tested on two linux and windows machines.

[ramprasadchauhan]

I also get same error

[Pakas342]

Getting the same error right now

[ramprasadchauhan]

Workaround is to install create-remix and fs-extra as local dependency, then call it via npx create-remix.

e.g. package.json:

{
"dependencies": {
"create-remix": "^2.15.0",
"fs-extra": "^10.1.0"
}
} try this it work first in your project folder install create-remix and fs-extra, then run npx create-remix@latest then it work fine

[donovancarthew]

This worked for me! :) Though I installed them globally
npm install -g create-remix
npm install -g fs-extra

[Pakas342]

Just tried, worked fine installing them locally first and then running npx create-remix@latest

Thanks! @ramprasadchauhan

[jay-debugs]

worked! thanks, was facing this error from 2 days and was unable to fix,

[gowy222]

This worked for me! :) Though I installed them globally npm install -g create-remix npm install -g fs-extra

[codenimble]

Was looking and switching from Next.js to Remix and this just stopped me cold. Workarounds not working. Ugh.

[mandorakannu]

Right bro, Remix sucks! Nextjs is best

[mustafabaaj]

Hey team,

How is this thread closed and I the problem is still persisting.

I have tried to remove node.js with all it dependencies and npm but didn't work
I have tried to upgrade to different node + npm versions and still didn't work

[codenimble]

Does not work for me.

[jay-debugs]

guys ,is the problem still there?

[mandorakannu]

NO, fixed!

[phuongpd2k]

Damn, I kept thinking it was my laptop and tried to fix it all day @@~

[mandorakannu]

Do this guys!

1. npm install -g create-remix
2. npm install -g fs-extra
3. create-remix <folderName>
   This is working for me.

[mustafabaaj]
