npm start error with create-react-app

Question

I have a project who I didn\'t touch for 2 weeks. I take it back and now when I try to run npm start I got this error.

> react-scripts start
         


        

Answer 1

It occurred to me but none of the above worked.

events.js:72
        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
              ^

npm ERR! UpScore@0.6.0 start: `react-scripts start`
npm ERR! spawn ENOENT

Error: spawn ENOENT
    at errnoException (child_process.js:1000:11)
    at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (child_process.js:791:34)

This happens because you might have installed react-scripts globally.

To make this work...

1. Go to your C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming
2. Delete npm and npm-cache directories... (don't worry you can install npm globally later)
3. Go back to your application directory and remove node_modules folder
4. Now enter npm install to install the dependencies (delete package-lock.json if its already created)
5. Now run npm install --save react react-dom react-scripts
6. Get it started with npm start

This should get you back on track... Happy Coding
