cd client and enter npm run start, but fails to start, how to fix it

Why not automatically download dependency packages...

Getting the same error too

Edit (Quick fix that worked for me):

• use 'yarn react-scripts start'

//////////////////////////////////// I have a similar error:

• Ubuntu 18.04
• Node 10.15.3
• Npm 6.4.1

Even if I download react-scripts via "npm install react-scripts" I get the same error.

I have tried:

• "rm -rf /node_modules package-lock.json" and re-installing
• uninstalling and re-installing npm and node
• using yarn
• re configuring ~/.profile so it doesn't require sudo with npm

I also used create-react-app outside of truffle and 'npm run start' worked fine.

I am by no means an expert but perhaps it has something to do with this:

Any solution? I am getting the same error

Any solution? I am getting the same error

Try using yarn instead and then running "yarn react-scripts start".

That worked for me.

Resolved. Dependent packages are best installed manually, should run 'npm install' before 'npm run start', and before run 'npm install', should install the Git.
