React - jquery module not found

Question

I have loaded jquery via the npm, and I am trying to import jQuery in App.js of my React app like so:

But it says:

Module not found: Can't resolve 'jquery'

Any idea what could be wrong here?

You should install jQuery via npm or yarn.

npm install -S jquery

yarn add jquery
