For all guys facing the same error
Do the following: 1) Go to your terminal and install node ( not node js cause you have already installed node js and npm)

This could be done by writing:

sudo apt get install nodejs-legacy

in your terminal and after the package is installed

go to your project file folder i.e ReduxSimpleStarter and start the server by writing following command

npm start

Note : Non mac users can ignore the architecture error that my come during (npm install )

Kindly let me know in the comments, if you guys face any further problem

ok, after an hour or so, I was able to fix this by starting over ( alot of fixes for this issues ), then do a fresh npm install, and change in package-json the "scripts" "start" does not need the 'node and dir to webpack-dev-server', instead make it this:

"start": "webpack-dev-server"

and that's all I did to get it to work, on windows machine..of course took over an hour to try all the fixes..

If anyone is having more issues with this try deleting the node_modules folder. Then, run npm install. After that's done downloading run npm cache clean --force and npm run dev.
