I'm trying to hook up my Laravel application with React. I followed the step of running the command "php artisan preset react" but after I was instructed to run npm install & run dev. I keep getting the following error. Does anyone have a similar problem?

Answer 1

Try doing full reset:
rm -rf node_modules
rm package-lock.json yarn.lock
npm cache clear --force
npm install
