Problem:

Guys, a few days ago, I installed `yarn` on my Mac just because it’s necessary for a project where I’m involved.

My problem is that, now, when I create a new app with `CRA`, it’s going to use `yarn` instead of `npm`. And, to be honest, I prefer `npm`.

Is there a way to force to use `npm` instead of `yarn`?
Or should I wait until finish the initial setup, then remove the `yarn.lock` file, the `node_modules` folder and then run `npm i`?

Answer:

You can run CRA with `–use-npm` flag to force it to use npm.
