npx @backstage/create-app not working

[warm iron]

Hi All,
I have trying to setup and create a backatge app in my windows VM using the command "npx @backstage/create-app@0.5.16 --path ./ --skip-install" but it is Failing with the error "backstage-create-app is not recognized as an internal or external command"

Any thoughts around this will be more helpful

MY local tools versions

node version : v20.14.0
yarn version : 1.22.19
npm version : 10.7.0
python version : 3.12.3

Can you try to simplify it to only npx @backstage/create-app@latest?

This works fine. But my requirement is specific to version 0.5.16.

Nevertheless the issue got solved now by doing

npm i @backstage/create-app@0.5.16

And then proceeded by
npx @backstage/create-app@0.5.16
