React.js refusing to start. Looked at Stack Overflow, but still not helping. #10366

Have MacOSX 10.14.6. Have Node.js version 12.18.1 Following along with this tutorial: https://www.w3schools.com/react/ Everything goes fine until issuing the command: npm start I am running this command in the correct folder. I tried updating npm to the latest version. The version is 6.14.11. I tried running rm -rf node_modules and npm_install to reinstall dependencies. No matter what I've tried, I still keep getting this aggrevating error:

sh: react-scripts: command not found npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR! syscall spawn npm ERR! file sh npm ERR! errno ENOENT npm ERR! myfirstreact@0.1.0 start: react-scripts start npm ERR! spawn ENOENT npm ERR! npm ERR! Failed at the myfirstreact@0.1.0 start script. npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in: npm ERR! /Users/jackgambrell/.npm/_logs/2021-01-12T05_32_04_515Z-debug.log

What should I do?

Your environment is probably missing react-scripts. To install them globally give the following command -

npm install -g react-scripts

If the issue still persists, delete the node_modules folder and then give the 'npm install -g npm@latest' command to install all the dependencies again.

Thanks, that seemed to get it to ork! I really appreciate your help. What worked was using sudo before each command. I'm not sure why you need to use sudo? But so glad to get this working!

While working in macOS and Linux you need to include sudo before the npm command.

Tip: Use Yarn instead of NPM while creating a react environment to save time.
