For me it was simply that I hadn t added react-scripts to the project so   npm i -S react-scripts   If this doesn t work  then rm node modules as suggested by others  rm -r node modules npm i

Author of Create React App checking in   You absolutely should not be installing react-scripts globally  You also don t need   node modules react-scripts bin  in package json as this answer implies   If you see this   npm ERR  UpScore 0 6 0 start   react-scripts start  npm ERR  spawn ENOENT   It just means something went wrong when dependencies were installed the first time   I suggest doing these three steps    npm install -g npm latest to update npm because it is sometimes buggy  rm -rf node modules to remove the existing modules  npm install to re-install the project dependencies    This should fix the problem  If it doesn t  please file an issue with a link to your project and versions of Node and npm

It seems like you don t have react-scripts in your global environment  Two possibility are available here    npm install -g react-scripts  or in your package json change your script part like this       scripts          start      node modules react-scripts bin react-scripts js start        start prod    pushstate-server build        build      node modules react-scripts bin react-scripts js build        test      node modules react-scripts bin react-scripts js test --env jsdom        eject      node modules react-scripts bin react-scripts js eject        server    cd client api  amp  amp  pm2 start server js --watch        proxy    http   128 199 139 144 3000

it is simple but the first time it takes time a few steps to set      you have the latest version on node   go to the environment variable and set the path  quot  SystemRoot  system32 quot       run cmd as administrator mode   write command npm start

I fix this using this following command   npm install -g react-scripts

This is to help others completely new to react and who area having problems just starting a first app even though they did a fresh install and try using npm install and the other fixes I saw around the forums    Running it on Windows 10 with all the latest npm create-react-app installed and got failure after failure on a simple npm start in a simple my-app demo folder   Spent a long time with what looks similar to the OP error at first but is slightly different  This starts with ERRNO 4058 and continues with code  ENOENT  syscall   spawn cmd   path    cmd       Eventually worked out from github create-react-app forum that a quick fix for this is registering cmd in the  path  variable  To do this go to System Properties Environment variables  Click on path variable edit and and add new entry of C  Windows System32  Restart CMD prompt and I was good to go

Yes you should not install react-scripts globally  it will not work   I think i didn t use the --save when i first created the project  on another machine   so for me this fixed the problem    npm install --save react react-dom react-scripts

My issue was stemming from permission issues  I solved mine by following this https   docs npmjs com resolving-eacces-permissions-errors-when-installing-packages-globally

User · Answer

incase you happened to be so unlucky like me that spent three 3  days in a row trying to solve this problem every solution proposed here failed me     create a  env file in your project root and add this code SKIP PREFLIGHT CHECK true  Good luck

It occurred to me but none of the above worked   events js 72         throw er     Unhandled  error  event                  npm ERR  UpScore 0 6 0 start   react-scripts start  npm ERR  spawn ENOENT  Error  spawn ENOENT     at errnoException  child process js 1000 11      at Process ChildProcess  handle onexit  child process js 791 34    This happens because you might have installed react-scripts globally   To make this work       Go to your C  Users  lt USER gt  AppData Roaming Delete npm and npm-cache directories     don t worry you can install npm globally later  Go back to your application directory and remove node modules folder Now enter npm install to install the dependencies  delete package-lock json if its already created  Now run npm install --save react react-dom react-scripts Get it started with npm start    This should get you back on track    Happy Coding

I have created react project locally  This reason of occurring this problem  for me  was that I didn t use sudo before npm and it needs root access    gt  sudo npm start  PS1  For windows users  the powershell or command line should be run as administrator  PS2  If use want to solve the root access issue  you can see this post

I might be very late to answer this question but this is what has worked for me and it might help someone to get back on the development track  nvm install v12 0    You may need to install nvm  if not already done rm -rd node modules  npm cache clean --force npm install  Cheers

As Dan said correctly       If you see this    npm ERR  UpScore 0 6 0 start   react-scripts start  npm ERR  spawn ENOENT      It just means something went wrong when dependencies were installed the first time    But I got something slightly different because running npm install -g npm latest to update npm might sometimes leave you with this error   npm ERR  code ETARGET npm ERR  notarget No matching version found for npm lates npm ERR  notarget In most cases you or one of your dependencies are requesting npm ERR  notarget a package version that doesn t exist    so  instead of running npm install -g npm latest  I suggest running the below steps    npm i -g npm   which will also update npm  rm -rf node modules   amp  amp  npm cache clean    to remove the existing modules and clean the cache   npm install   to re-install the project dependencies    This should get you back on your feet
