Cannot find module create-react-app/script/start.js

Question

something has changed in my program structure and due to its complexity i cannot exactly point where the problem. Ever since my application crushed and no longer working i have tried different approaches like deleting the node module packages and reinstalling them but still wont work. whenever i try to run npm start i get the following errors:

below is my project structure

And below is my package.json file

Answer 1

react-scripts start generates error Error: Cannot find module '../scripts/start'

I'm not sure what is causing the problem during the create react app, but the thing I found that works best is simply delete the nodes_module folder then in Terminal run npm install in the project directory.

Reference: Npm start fails

Answer 2

Remove node module folder rm -rf node_modules

Install node modules npm install

Run the project npm start
