React Error: Child compilation failed: Must use import to load ES Module-CodePudding

I have done a react project on my ubuntu system and uploaded on github, now I am cloning that same repository on my windows system and doing npm install and npm start. It is showing this errors.

I am bit new to react so please help me to fix this issue. My npm version on windows is 8.7.0 and node version is v12.16.3

 Compiled with problems:X 
ERROR

Must use import to load ES Module: C:\Users\user\Desktop\port\frontend\node_modules\@eslint\eslintrc\universal.js
require() of ES modules is not supported.
require() of C:\Users\user\Desktop\port\frontend\node_modules\@eslint\eslintrc\universal.js from C:\Users\user\Desktop\port\frontend\node_modules\eslint\lib\linter\linter.js is an ES module file as it is a .js file whose nearest parent package.json contains "type": "module" which defines all .js files in that package scope as ES modules.
Instead rename universal.js to end in .cjs, change the requiring code to use import(), or remove "type": "module" from C:\Users\user\Desktop\port\frontend\node_modules\@eslint\eslintrc\package.json.

CodePudding user response：

The answer is in the error itself. You are using require in your universal js which is not supported, please use import instead

CodePudding user response：

@Ritesh Jagga - where I can find my webpack config file in my project ?

@xXx_Hacker_xXx - But I have not used any package or file named universal.js. There is no file named universal.js in my whole project.
