NPM stands for Node Package Manager and is used to install, remove, and update Javascript packages on your machine.

"NPM" can install packages globally, which means that in the long run your machine may be polluted with packages that are no longer needed.

If you use create-react-app, you need to install it globally first and then run it, which means that every time you use it, you only have access to the version you installed.

NPX stands for Node Package Execute and is used to run JavaScript packages directly, without installing them.

So, packaging pollution on your machine is no longer a problem.

Let's go back to create-react-ap. Since we only need to use it once, i.e. when creating the project, with NPX we don't need to install it.

Just type NPX create-react-app followed by your project name and you are ready to use the latest version

So how do you install NPX? You probably already have it. Since NPM 5.2, it's bundled.
