Unfortunately this is a tricky problem. As @Timer pointed out, a global install catch would be triggered on npx and yarn create runs.
I couldn't find a way to determine if the user had initialised create-react-app with npx or yarn create specifically (although I was able to find out if they used yarn or npm) - but there may be a method I missed.
An alternative option is to use the command npm view create-react-app version - which returns the latest version as a string. This solution, however, is slow.
