React Project installation always fails at inotify (ELIFECYCLE errno 1) - reactjs

Question

I'm trying to install a ReactJs Project on Ubuntu 19.04. For some reason, the installation always seems to fail at a certain package called inotify.
I'm currently on node v12.10.0 and npm v6.10.3
I've tried several things and even tried to install inotify individually, but nothing seems to have worked. I still have no clue about the reason for this issue.
This is my package.json file.
