I am trying to run npm start in my terminal, but it isn't working-CodePudding

I am trying to run 'npm start' to begin a new React Project and it is not working. I have done this many times, but now I get the following error:

Starting the development server...

Node.js v17.2.0
EgorUlybin@MacBook-Pro routing %

In the browser, the error message that I get is: "The site can't be reached' and 'localhost refused to connect'.

Would appreciate any help that I can get!

CodePudding user response：

It's might be because of nodejs version.

Please downgrade your nodejs version from current(17) to LTS(16) version by nvm. I hope it will be work to start your react project
