Node.js v17.5.0

What could be the possible fix?

CodePudding user response：

To start a react project you have to use npm start. Not npm run start.

With npm start, your project will start running on http://localhost:3000/

Hope this works.

CodePudding user response：

check package.json for any missing dependancy then use npm install and then npm start. Or check which command is mentioned in package.json to run the app
