Install fails

[joehoyle]

Following the guidelines on the readme, running (node 16):

npx create-react-app dashboard --scripts-version react-wp-scripts --php-namespace="Dashboard" ./

I get this error:

 dashboard % npx create-react-app dashboard --scripts-version react-wp-scripts --php-namespace="Dashboard" ./
Need to install the following packages:

@joehoyle I found the solution to this problem. The project only works with create-react-app up to version 2. This command works:

npx create-react-app@2 app-name --scripts-version react-wp-scripts --php-namespace="Your_Namespace" /path/to/your/project/folder

Looks like react-wp-scripts needs to be updated to support the latest create-react-app.
