Hi,

We do not use create-strapi-app as a dependency.

You could try to install any other package globally and you might stumble upon the same error. This is one of the reasons why we advertise to use only LTS (long-term-support) versions of Node.js. Until v22 becomes LTS, please use Node.js v20.

This error has nothing to do with our global CLI.
