Why am getting "cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'server')" while trying to install React?

I am installing react for the first time. and I can't seem to get rid of these problem. when I run these command.

npx create-react-app employee

I first got "ENolock these command requires existing lockfile" Error then I run

npm audit fix --force

when I try to create react app now I am faced with these error as you can see on the attached image below what can I do ? p.s I have also tried npm cache clean and then trying to create the react app

C:\Full stack app\client>npm audit
