I created a new app with npx create-react-app frontend then npm start and this what I got:

$ npm start

frontend@0.1.0 start C:\Users\tamar\Desktop\React & Node Tutorial - Full ECommerce in 5 Hours [2020]\amazon\frontend react-scripts start

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:883 throw err; ^

what is the problem?

It's possible you were running it from outside the intended directory. Did you try the exact steps from here? https://reactjs.org/docs/create-a-new-react-app.html#create-react-app

npx create-react-app frontend
cd frontend
npm start

I may have run before in another app but I can not find it, And I followed these instructions, but it still not working

The issue is that your folder name has a & symbol in it which causes the terminal to think that it's the start of a new command. Reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60912342/error-cannot-find-module-react-scripts-bin-react-scripts-js
