I cloned a react application onto my system and ran following commands
npm install -g create-react-app
npm install --save react react-dom
After that i ran
npm start
But it threw the above mentioned error, It is working fine on my other system from which i pushed it on github. But it is not working on any other system after cloning whether windows or mac.
Check if node_modules directory exists. After a fresh clone, there will very likely be no node_modules (since these are .gitignore'd).
Solution
run npm install (or yarn) to ensure all deps are downloaded.
Alternative Solution
If node_modules exists, remove it with rm -rf node_modules and then run npm install (or yarn).
Tried all of the above and nothing worked so I used npm i react-scripts and it worked
I had similar issue. In my case it helped to have Yarn installed and first execute the command
yarn
and then execute the command
yarn start
That could work for you too if the project that you cloned have the yarn.lock file. Hope it helps!
In package.json, I changed
"start": "react-scripts start"
to
"start": "NODE_ENV=production node_modules/react-scripts/bin/react-scripts.js start"
I hope this solves the problem for some people. Although the other solutions above seem not to work for me.
you should not install react-scripts globally, for me this fixed the problem:
npm install --save react react-dom react-scripts
if this still dont work :
update to latest npm version : npm install -g npm#latest
delete node_modules directory
reinstall all dependencies : npm install
https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app
npm install -g create-react-app
create-react-app my-app
cd my-app/
npm start
You install the create-react-app package globally.
After that you run it and create a project called my-app.
Enter your project folder and then run npm start. If that doesn't work try running npm install and then npm start. If that doesn't work as well, try updating your node version and/or npm.
I had this problem for ages and I eventually found my solution by sheer chance.
Turns out, you can't have spaces or wacky characters in any folder names.
e.g.
~/projects/tutorial/ReactJS/JavaScript Framework: ReactJS/app-name
won't work because JavaScript Framework: ReactJS contains spaces.
In general, it's probably not great practice to be using spaces in folder/file names anyway but I hope this saves someone at least 4 hours of trial and error.
Also, any non-alphanumeric characters should be avoided.
This error occurs when you Install package with npm install instead of yarn install or vice-versa.
using npm i --legacy-peer-deps worked for me.
I do not know specifically which operation out of the following it performed:
Installing the peer dependencies' latest stable version.
Installing the peer dependencies' version which the core dependy you are installing uses.
But I think it performs the latter operation. Feel free to let me know if I'm wrong ^-^
npm install --save react react-dom react-scripts
Above command worked for me.
This boggles me time to time when I have a fresh start with create-react-app, please make sure your NODE_ENV variable is set to development not production, as devDependencies in your package.json will not be installed by npm install.
If you are having this issue in a Docker container just make sure that node_modules are not added in the .dockerignore file.
I had the same issue sh1 : react scripts not found. For me this was the solution
Just ran into this problem after installing material-ui.
Solved it by simply running npm install again.
Just doing an Yarn install solved the problem for me
Deleting package-lock.json and node_modules then npm install worked for me.
If none of the other answers work properly (after updating the npm etc). I would strongly recommend you to install the project on your desktop.
create-react-app project_name
The solution that worked for me is below. Try creating React app with this command.
create-react-app react-app --scripts-version 1.1.5
this worked for me.
if you're using yarn:
delete yarn.lock
run yarn
and then yarn start
if you're using npm:
delete package-lock.json
run npm install
and then npm start
If anyone still have this problem after trying these solutions: check your project path as node has some issues working with spaced dir names. I changed all directories names that had spaces in their names and it worked perfectly.
solution idea taken from: https://npm.community/t/react-scripts-not-found/8574
i am using yarn BTW
You shoundt use neither SPACES neither some Special Caracters in you path, like for example using "&". I my case I was using this path: "D:\P&D\mern" and because of this "&" I lost 50 minutes trying to solve the problem! :/
Living and Learning!
If you have tried everything and nothing solved it, try to rename the directories name. react will not start if the folder's name contains uppercase letters.
After spending too much time trying all the solutions above, I can say for sure:
If you ran into this issue, check your path. If the path contains any special character or spaces just rename it and make sure that the new path doesn't have any spaces or special character. Then run it again .
delete node_modules
run npm install
after that run npm start
if above does't work
delete node_modules
delete package-lock.json
run npm install
and then npm start
if above solutions does not fixed your problem, try the following this worked for me:
if you want to start on another port or PORT command not found error then do the following steps:
open package.json file
inside script replace the start command with below
"start": "set PORT=3006 && react-scripts start"
To change the port of your app, you can also create a new file name .env in the root directory of the project and write in it PORT=3006 (then save the file). Now run your app using npm start.
I just randomly experienced this "react-scripts: command not found" error after issuing a react-scripts build request, which was previously working just fine.
A simple reboot of my system corrected the issue.
if anyone is willing to use npm only, then run this npm i react-native-scripts --save, then npm start or whatever the command you use
solution 1:
delete the package-lock.json file and then type -> npm install
solution 2:
/Users/piyushbajpai/.npm/_logs/2019-03-11T11_53_27_970Z-debug.log
like this is my debug path --> so this you will find in the console -> press on command and click on the link, you will find error line;
like this:
verbose stack Error: nest_form#0.1.0 start: react-scripts start
solution 3:
delete the node_module and npm i with fresh way.
solution 4:
go to node_module and delete jses folder and delete it, then do npm i and again start with npm start
I had issues with latest version of yarn 1.15.1-1
I've fixed it by downgrading to lower version sudo apt-get install yarn=1.12.3-1
I ran into this error after renaming the directory with the #/ symbol on macOS to match the name of my NPM package namespace.
When the NPM command looked for installed packages in my local node_modules, it couldn't find it due to the way macOS was rewriting the directory path. After renaming the directory without #/ I was up and running again.
Just You have to restore packages to solve this issue,
So just run command :
npm install or yarn install
I tried every answer but cleaning my npm cache worked..
steps:
Clean cache =====> npm cache clean force.
reinstall create-react-app =====> npm install create-react-app.
npm install.
npm start !!!
I want to try React on my Mac, but I face some difficulties when using it.
I installed create-react-app globally with
npm install -g create-react-app
But everytime I create a new project I have a huge node_modules folder in my project folder. AFAIK I don't need node_modules folder in every project if create-react-app installed globally. So what's the problem?
When I tried to uninstall create-react-app to install it again (just to be sure I installed it globally) I get an error saying
npm remove -g create-react-app
Error: EACCES: permission denied, unlink 'usr/local/bin/create-react-app'
So what do I do in this case?
The node_modules folder you see for every project is node_modules for that specific project. This is how all javascript projects that use npm work. You don't want all the dependencies of every project installed globally. That would run into all kinds of issues with different versions of packages etc.
This error indicates that you probably ran npm install -g create-react-app as either root or as sudo like so: sudo npm install -g create-react-app. Try running sudo npm remove -g create-react-app and see if that works.
I couldn't use the new version of create-react-app with npx, so I tried to remove via the command npm uninstall -g create-react-app. After that when I checked it still has "installed". So I have removed manually
rm -rf /usr/local/bin/create-react-app
But everytime I create a new project I have a huge node_modules folder
in my project folder.
That node_modules folder store all the local dependencies for that particular project with specific versions as mentioned in package.json and its dependencies also. It is required for every project, unless all dependencies of your project are global and match the versions perfectly which never would be the case AFAIK.
Use npm uninstall -g package_name for removing package.
Also its better if you use npx for create new react projects. But this would only work properly if npm version is above 5 and you have to uninstall global create-react-app first.
npx create-react-app my-app
I hard similar issue with mine. I did
npm uninstall -g create-react-app
and it worked.
this may sound odd but it work many times
if this kind of error come than run code in your terminal
npm uninstall -g create-react-app
if not work than without any headache run
npm i create-react-app
in your root folder this will update the react app in your system after this untill next latest version you can enjoy with
npx i create-react-app my-app
I was trying to install react-bootstrap but I get the following message on the console.
I will appreciate any help since I'm new working with React
Try this:
Make sure you have the latest npm (npm install -g npm).
Add an exception to your antivirus to ignore the node_modules folder in your project.
Ensure no other processes of node.js are running (check task manager)
If you are using Visual Studio Code, close it.
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm install and then npm install react-bootstrap bootstrap
use npm install react-bootstrap --force
Try to don't named your project folder as react-bootstrap
Help! I have no idea what is going on here, create react app is not working I have also tried reinstalling and yet to no avail, please help!
Npm version: 5.4.2
Node version: 8.70
Tried the npm install --save --save-exact --loglevel error react react-dom react-scripts
In my case, "create-react-app" was not installed. to install run this command
npm install -g create-react-app
Once installation successful, try running
npx create-react-app hello-world
If this works for you. Great else comment what worked for you,
Please try this:
npm cache clean --force
I also got the same issue and tried to resolve for a long and finally resolved using this command,
npx create-react-app#latest my-app --use-npm
I had the same problem and had to do the following:
npm uninstall -g create-react-app
npm uninstall create-react-app
After this I was able to create the app with:
npx create-react-app project-app
I had the same problem, and I solved it by:
1. update the npm version (npm install npm#latest -g)
2. clear the cache (npm cache clean --force)
3. create the react project (npx create-react-app todo)
(create-react-app was already installed)
I had similar issue while tried creating new react app with create-react-app, but related to some random JSON reading issues while installations like.. >= 5.0 || 4.0 ..
But the fix below solves multiple and similar issues.
First of all, make sure you have required or latest version of node installed.
npm install npm#latest -g
Before using create-react-app make sure you clean npm cache using npm cache clean --force
Now, is should be fine to create new react app with npx create-react-app tl-app or npx create-react-app . if you want to create current directory as project root.
Make sure you are not running any antivirus, stop/pause all antivirus or protection software.
You can also try
use create-react-app projectname --save
or create-react-app projectname --save-exact and start again
OR
as the error suggests, you should use a newer version of node. You are using 8.9.4, you should probably use 8.12.0 LTS.
It sets up your development environment so that you can use the latest JavaScript features, provides a nice developer experience, and optimizes your app for production.
You’ll need to have Node >= 8.10 and npm >= 5.6 on your machine. To create a project, run:
npx create-react-app my-app
cd my-app
npm start
Note:
npx on the first line is not a typo — it’s a package runner tool that comes with npm 5.2+.
Create react app provides more information regarding this.
It may be the problem of cache also, so can also try:
npm cache clean --force
Edit 1: This may be due to slow internet speed, Please check the
internet and try again.
npx create-react-app .
( the .) means create project on this folder so you should manually create if you do that
For the windows machine following command worked for me
yarn create react-app my-app
cd my-app
yarn set version berry
yarn
yarn start
The problem on my machine was caused by yarn. I am windows 10 and after uninstalling yarn using npm uninstall -g yarn, my script run correctly. So
Open terminal and type: npm uninstall -g yarn
Once done, close terminal and open new one
type create-react-app (app name) and this should create your app :)
Please note that the above steps assume that you already have node and react-cli installed on your machine.
on Ubuntu 18.04
sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable
What I did, is going to
C:\Users\mycomputerName\AppData\Roaming\npm\
I changed the name of this file
create-react-app.ps1
to
create-react-appOld.ps1
or you can delete it, then it worked fine
Tried all the above methods but no luck:(
Step1 : Reinstalled Node js
Step2 : Check whether environment variables has been created. if not create one for nodejs,npm and composer
Step3: Also add "C:\Windows\System32" to the global PATH environment variable.
Step4: Then use "npx create-react-app my-app" to create react project
Step5: Run the commmand : cd my-app and npm start
Step6: It will work
I finally got it to work. An anti-virus in my system was causing it not to work property. I unistalled it and it's working as expected.
After no luck with updating my npm version and doing npm cache clean --force I ended up just doing a fresh install of node which fixed the issue for me.
HAD the same problem. Running Node with cra. installed cra -g for starters.
npm install -g create-react-app
then downgraded react-scripts to version 2.1.8
npm install react-scripts#2.1.8
created a .env file in root directory and added this to it.
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_USER=root
DB_PASS=s1mpl3
SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK=true
Then you do the typical delete node_modules folder and the package-lock.json file.(NOT PACKAGE.JSON!!!)
then:
npm install
npm start
This worked for me. Sorry I'm not more informative on why this worked for me. I'm still trying to understand why it didn't work in the first place.
I just did it now after messing around with it all yesterday.
Installed react globally like people have said.
then I used 'git bash here' to open terminal in the directory i want
oddly, it worked when I removed npm. I know it's weird, I've never had to do that and it makes no sense but its working so:
create-react-app my-app-name
I'm on windows 10 by the way.
If there is anyone having this issue that you can not find your project when you
yarn create-react-app (name of project)
npx create-react-app (name of project)
then just be sure that you are in the right directory.
use this command in your terminal
cd ..
now search the project name by
cd (project name)
you should find your directory here.
Please do this, I hope it will fix all of your problems
1- npm i -g create-react-app
2- create-react-app my-app
Find the folder and where a folder named npm is present and add it into environment variables (path)
I also experienced the same problem and SOLVED IT.
This is what I did.
Restart your machine(computer)
Deactivate your anti-virus. I chose the "permanently" option
Open the terminal and run the "create-react-app" command again, It will definitely do the trick.
Activate your anti-virus
And get working :-)
I'm new to Ionic. I was following the Ionic documentation "get started", created a project sample named "super". The problem is that when I run the command line ionic serve in the project directory, it threw an error Error: Cannot find module '#ionic/app-scripts'
Try installing app-script from npm
npm i #ionic/app-scripts
To get the latest #ionic/app-scripts, run the following command:
npm install #ionic/app-scripts#latest --save-dev
app-scripts currently compatible with node 6 and 7.
İf you installed node 8, then please uninstall and install node 6 stable version.
This solved error and now i can use ionic 3, angular 4 .
Take care!
do not downgrade the node version, update the version of "app-scripts":
To get the latest #ionic/app-scripts, please run:
npm install #ionic/app-scripts#latest --save-dev
I was facing same issue, here is what I did-
Removed node_modules from directory (Manually).
open project dir
run this command-
npm install
That fixed those errors for me.
See here.
I had this issue , i solved it by deleting node_modules/ folder and ran the command npm installnow my app works
I tried every non-downgrade solution mentioned in this thread, in all kinds of ways and none of them worked. With nothing left to lose, I went down the downgrade route (I used sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove nodejs to remove previous 8.x version and then installed the last stable ver on the 6.x branch using the nodesource ppa).
Still got the same errors trying to run in the original project folders, but then I created a new project and ionic serve worked just fine in that space.
FWIW, I did not need to run npm update or npm i #ionic/app-scripts afterwards, but I did find it necessary to adopt the habit of running commands with sudo in front (or you sudo -s into root account).
I ran into the same issue and i had problems fixing it. However i update my app scripts npm install -g #ionic/app-scripts#latest --save-dev to the latest version and my problem was solved
npm install -g #ionic/app-scripts#latest --save-dev
Error: app-script not found/ app-script not installed/ app-script module is not found
Try this work for me, Your also:
- npm cache clean --force
- npm install #ionic/app-scripts#latest --save-dev
- npm install -g #angular/cli
I had the issue, solved by execute cnpm i #ionic/app-scripts.
Just open a new terminal window/session. I could not figure it out, but it's probably related to env.
None of the options worked for me.
But I could make it work by updating node with
npm update
After this, the problem was solved and the application started.
Good Luck.
I had the same problem and here is what worked for me
I was trying to run the program using VSCode terminal, Instead I used the windows cmd and it ran perfectly. I think the error is in VSCode terminal, it cannot identify the app-scripts module inside the project. Maybe it will be fixed in a later update.
Delete node_modules and package-lock.json
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm install
Reference:
https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-cli/issues/3399
After half a day trying to solve this
And after:
python version error
node-sass misconfiguration error
I did the following
Remove node-modules folder
Run "npm audit fix --force"
Downgrade webpack installation "npm uninstall webpack && install webpack#3.12.0"
The last one because ionic build was giving me an error on that package after the audit
In my case, I need to set NODE_ENV to production then it installs successfully
set NODE_ENV=production
npm install #ionic/app-scripts#latest --save-dev
You must create the project as administrator if you have mac or linux uses sudo, if you have windows run the console as administrator and create the project
My issue was solved after run this script:
npm i #ionic/app-scripts
