How to give mkdir permission for npx command - npm

Question

I have problem using npx create-react-app command
Earlier I had create-react-app installed globally on and system and used npm create-react-app command
But I learned that using npx we will always use the latest version and to use npx I have uninstalled create-react-app from my system
Whenever I try to run npx create-react-app my-app command
I get the following error:
C:\Users\Sachin Verma\Desktop\react-project>npx create-react-app tut
Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, mkdir 'C:\Users\Sachin'
command not found: create-react-app
But if I install create-react-app on my system globally, then npx command works
I tried cleaning npm cache and also reinstalled node.js but the problem still exists
Edit:

Is there any problem due to my username because it contains a space in between?

Try to run your CMD in administration or you can change your working dir, where no admin privilege is required.
