title: How can I use create-react-app for React version 16.x.x with TypeScript?
body: <p>I need to run up a sandbox React app with version 16 and typescript.</p>
  <p>Does anyone know how to do that as <code>npx create-react-app --template=typescript blah</code> now uses React 17?</p>
  <p><em>Update</em></p>
  <p>As suggested in the comments I've attempted to install with this:</p>
  <p><code>npm init react-app migration-calculator-npm-demo --scripts-version 3.4.4</code></p>
  <p>and</p>
  <p><code>npm init react-app migration-calculator-npm-demo --template typescript --scripts-version 3.4.4</code></p>
  <p><code>3.4.4</code> looks like the last version of <code>react-scripts</code> since before the major update.</p>
  <p>Unfortunately, I'm getting errors with both.</p>
