sh: react-scripts: command not found after running npm start

Solution 1:

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).

Solution 2:

Tried all of the above and nothing worked so I used npm i react-scripts and it worked

Solution 3:

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!
