I went to my github repository of a few months old project. At that time, it was working quite alright.

When I tried to npm install, I can see the node modules folder. Then I have these npm error

Then when I tried, to npm start it shows this error:

'react-scripts' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file

and then the node modules are deleted. The file would just disappear.

This is the package.json:

You need to run this command

npm install react-scripts --save

CodePudding user response：

npm has problems reading paths with spaces.

You should change the path either by directly removing the spaces or replacing them with some other characters for example _, -, etc.

After that, you should be able to run npm install successfully and then npm start.

Also you can change the cache path like this: Spaces in PATH npm
