create-contentful-app command fails to build bootstrap

[Daniel Blake]

Hello, I've encountered something odd: I cannot get a new Contentful app bootstrap to build.

Steps to reproduce

1. npx @contentful/create-contentful-app init my-first-app
2. give permission for npx to continue

Expected behavior

create-contentful-app to build a bootstrapped directory called 'my-first-app'

Actual behavior

Build fails with the following warning:

You are running `create-react-app` 4.0.3, which is behind the latest release (5.0.0).

We no longer support global installation of Create React App.

Please remove any global installs with one of the following commands:
- npm uninstall -g create-react-app
- yarn global remove create-react-app

The latest instructions for creating a new app can be found here:
https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/

The suggested fix does not work because I do not have create-react-app installed globally.

Following the instructions from the provided link, running npx create-react-app my-app works just fine.

Versions

node: 16.13.1
npm: 8.1.2
macOS: 12.1

Please let me know, if there is any other information that is needed. Thank you.
