uh, ok, just tried it on my laptop. It's shit it's self :
$ npm install -g create-react-app
npm WARN engine [email protected]: wanted: {"node":">=4"} (current: {"node":"0.10.46","npm":"2.15.1"})

Doesn't really build any type of confidence that it can't even tell me what errors it's having or produce an error log ?
