have you install the Node.Js?

https://nodejs/en/download/

if so, it's probably a "PATH environment variable" issue

Fixing npm path in Windows 8 and 10

try this code. npm install -g create-react-app-offline

Try opening a new terminal in vscode

If that doesn't work check your path to make sure the install of npx was added

After installation , restart your vscode

You should install npx globally, try this:

npm i -g npx

On mac/linux use sudo:

sudo npm i -g npx

Install node.js, after that then restart your VS code.
