I'm trying to learn react, so I have this sample code for the full-stack react voting app, and I am trying to get it to work but after running npm install followed by npm start I receive the following error when I run npm start can anyone help me with this issue:

Step 1: $ npm cache clean --force
Step 2: Delete node_modules by $ rm -rf node_modules (rmdir /S /Q node_modules in windows) folder or delete it manually by going into the directory and right-click > delete / move to trash. If you are not updating your packages you can delete the package-lock.json file too.
Step 3: npm install
To start again,
$ npm start
This worked for me. Hopes it works for you too.
PS: Still if it is there, kindly check the error it is displaying in red and act accordingly. This error is specific to node.js environment.
Cleaning Cache and Node_module are not enough.
Follow this steps:
npm cache clean --force
delete node_modules folder
delete package-lock.json file
npm install
It works for me like this.
I resolve this error running following code
npm cache clean
then delete node_modules directory from my project structure manually or with following command
rm -rf node_modules
After That install dependencies again using
npm install
first i ran:
npm run clean
(even though it came with errors)
Then i deleted the node_modules folder and ran
npm install
This seems to have solved the problem.
I was getting similar error messages on a 16.04 Ubuntu instance with DigitalOcean while running npm run build on an app made with create-react-app (link). I upgraded the instance from 512MB RAM to 1GB ($5/mo to $10/mo) and then the script was able to run.
I post this here to point out that you may get this error due to resource limitations, which I didn't really see explained elsewhere on issue pages and SO answers. And nothing I saw in the error logs pointed me in this direction.
Change access in node_modules directory
chmod -R a+rwx ./node_modules
This solution is for Windows users.
You can open the node.js installer and give the installer some time to compute space requirements and then click next and click remove. This will remove node.js from your computer and again reopen the installer and install it in this path - C:\Windows\System32
or
Cleaning Cache and Node_module will work.
Follow this steps:
npm cache clean --force
delete node_modules folder
delete package-lock.json file
npm install
Faced this exact problem,
for me it worked by deleting package-lock.json and re-running npm install
If that doesn't resolve it try
delete package-lock.json
npm cache clean --force
npm install
npm start
Delete node_modules and package-lock.json, and then run npm install. It worked perfectly here(run command below inside project root):
rm -rf node_modules && rm ./package-lock.json && npm install
I was getting this npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE error while running a build. Clearing the cache and removing the package-lock.json files did not fix it.
In my case there was an Angular build running on a Docker image that was causing this. The root cause turned out to be running the build on Docker in MacOS, which runs the Docker inside a Linux VM, and has by default 2GB memory allocated.
Giving Docker more memory fixed this issue for me. Have to say, the error message could have been quite a bit more clear..
A helpful answer for me was Call retries were exceeded exception while ng build
workaround: Remove the lock file.
rm .\package-lock.json
source: https://github.com/mapbox/node-pre-gyp/issues/298 (floriantraber)
React Application: For me the issue was that after running npm install had some errors.
I've went with the recommendation npm audit fix. This operation broke my package.json and package-lock.json (changed version of packages and and structure of .json).
THE FIX WAS:
Delete node_modules
Run npm install
npm start
Hope this will be helpfull for someone.
npm install --unsafe-perm
worked for me. See https://docs.npmjs.com/. The --unsafe-perm parameter lets you run the scripts from the package instalation as root. The problem in my case was that some depandencies failed to install.
This solution fixed the error in Win10.
Please install globally npm install -g node-pre-gyp
i tried to solve this problem with this way
rm -rf node_modules && rm ./package-lock.json && npm install
But for me its not work.
I just restart my machine and its working perfectly.
Am Linux user ,Machine HP.
I recommend you update your node version to the latest node version recommended by your application or for short update your node version. I encountered this same problem using node version 11.1 but my application was recommending atleast version 10.x.x or 12.x.x
I tried all the suggested reply on this thread but non seemed to work for me untill only when i updated my node version to the recommended latest version .i.e. version 12.16.3 then my application ran.
I just wanted to do run npm run dist to apply some changes for SCSS files, but after hours of suffering, here's what worked for me:
npm cache clean --force
delete node_modules folder
delete package-lock.json file
sudo npm install npm#latest -g this will upgrade npm to latest version
npm audit fix --force
npm upgrade --force
npm install
After these I could finally compile SCSS files successfully with npm run dist.
Check for port availability as well if you encounter below message :

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
A possibly unexpected cause: you use Create React App with some warnings left unfixed, and the project fails on CI (e.g. GitLab CI/CD):
Treating warnings as errors because process.env.CI = true.
[ ... some warnings here ...]
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
Solution: fix yo' warnings!
Alternative: use CI=false npm run build
See CRA issue #3657
(Ashamed to admit that it just happened to me; did not see it until a colleague pointed it out. Thanks Pascal!)
I'm using ubuntu 18.04 LTS release and I faced the same problem I tried to clean cache as above suggestions but it didn't work for me. However, I found another solution.
echo 65536 | sudo tee -a /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
npm start
I run this command and it started to work
In my case, I actually ran into this error "code ELIFECYCLE" in a Jenkins job. I tried to clean npm cache but it didn't work and also checked the memory of the Jenkins build server which looks okay. Then, I found the compiling of the react project actually failed in Jenkins but not in my local or when manually running the build on the Jenkins build server, and Jenkins also mentioned "Treating warnings as errors because process.env.CI = true". It looks like the warnings in my project cause the error on Jenkins. Therefore, I changed CI to true in the Jenkins job for now. That actually fixed the build error of Jenkins before I cleared those warnings.
Try to reinstall the cli package globally. In my case, I was trying to test a Vue.js tutorial when I get the same error message. The other thing I did was run the vue command again but this time using webpack-simple and that is why I am not sure wich one solved the problem but now it is working.
The port is probably being used by another application, try listing and see if it's your application:
lsof -i:8080
You can kill the process of this port:
lsof -ti:8080 | xargs kill
I've been bothered by this issue for a long time. For me, the version of node was the problem.
My npm and node were 6.1.0 and 8.11.3, respectively. However, I didn't realize that I had updated my node accidentally to 12.*.*.
It then began to install GCX stuff whenever npm i, which was unnecessary before.
I downgraded my node to 8 and it worked!
Its weird but it works for me
Go to
control panel -->System and Security--> System --> Advanced System
Security--> Environment Variables
In Environment Variable popup you will edit the user variable PATH and add "C:\Windows\System32" value as semicolon separated to the existing value.
Not but not least restart the Machine.
I did follow steps, it works:
1.
npm cache clean --force
remove the package-lock.json file
restart my WebStorm
Usually killall node command fixes mine.
Resolved like this:
# chown -R <user>: node_modules
Make sure to use the latest npm version while installing packages using npm.
While installing JavaScript, mention the latest version of NodeJS. For example, while installing JavaScript using devtools, use the below code:
devtools i --javascript nodejs:10.15.1
This will download and install the mentioned NodeJS version. This worked for me.
I was issuing the npm start command with the folder of the project opened at Sublime Text. Closing ST and restarting the server did the work for me.

! Push rejected, failed to compile Node.js app.

Synopsis:
I recently finished MERN stack course and went to go push my build to Heroku but encountered the error above. I first thought it was a visual studio permissions error so I ran vs code with elevated privileges. This, however, did not work.
I've tried and had no success with:
Adding a nodejs script build package to my deployment
Modifying my package.json to incorporate engine which selects the version of node.js to run
Adding .js extensions to the end of the server in the scripts section thinking there may be a simple issue with that
Double checking that my local instance works properly (it does)
Promptly throwing my computer out my window (feels pretty good, but still not working)
Refer to this link to see how to check your file for the correct permissions and how to set them ( Updating file permissions with git-bash on Windows 7 )
sh: 1: react-scripts: Permission denied
So this is a permission issue. Go to the correct path that contains a react-scripts and do a chmod +x react-scripts will solve this issue.
I took a look at you GitHub repo and it seems to be a simple typo in your .gitignore file :
node_module/
config/default.json
And this should be :
node_modules/
config/default.json
Notice the name of node_modules folder ,so a quick fix would be to edit you .gitignore file and put the wright name , then run the following :
git rm -r --cached node_modules
delete node_modules in root directory as well in client/
git commit -am 'ignore node_modules'
And finally push your changes , this should fix the error .
check your package.json => React-script-->
step = 1==> "react-scripts": "(change_currend_version)"
Ex: "react-scripts": "1.0.1" change ==>"react-scripts": "3.4.3"
step = 2==> install ==> npm i
step = 3 ==> npm start

Just an update for everyone. It worked now. All I did was reinstall nodejs for the 4th time, nothing else. Makes 0 sense. anyways, thanks for your answers, appreciate it.
I also got a same error.
Try to run npm cache clean --force after that just run create-react-app
Definitely It will work
NPM error on update. I recently update to Node version 7.x. Now npm is not working.
I am unable to locate the error, it may be due to -

My /etc/profile.d/nodejs.sh has the following contents:

You should be able to remove the npm directory (typically /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm) and then reinstall one of the official node tarballs, which includes npm (you can find the latest from http://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v7.x/).
Did you upgrade from an older version of node?
If so, that is probably part of the reason why you are having this issue. Older versions of graceful-fs (a dependency of npm) did things that are no longer available in node v7.
According to this thread, updating npm to version 4 will solve your problem, try:
npm i -g npm#4
If this doesn't work, try:
~/.n/n/versions/node/7.0.0/bin/npm i -g npm#4
delete node_modules directory and then type in your console "npm install". For a reason that I dont know, if you only update npm, it does not fix the error, but re-installing npm everything is gonna be allright.
For me, if I facing error "cannot find module internal/fs", it would be refer to command path. Better find the command path:
npm config get prefix
put into system environment path.
It is worked for me after facing the error several days.
I'm sort of new to this whole "node" js thing. When trying to install the MEAN package from http://mean.io/, I followed these steps faithfully:
I "cd" to my directory, run "npm install", and then the "grunt" command, and get this error:
Error: Cannot find module 'coffee-script'
So I roll with the punches. npm install coffee-script, run "grunt" again.
Error: Cannot find module 'getobject'
Ever patient, I decide "okay, forget grunt". I run "node server". Then I get this error:
Error: Cannot find module 'merge-descriptors'
What's wrong? How can I get MEAN working here? (I thought npm was supposed to make life easier).
Update 12/31/13: When I look at the output of npm install, there are a number of "Error: EMFILE" errors. As I understand those errors are related to too many files being opened and graceful-fs is a solution to this. Sample EMFILE error pasted below:

With graceful-fs installed, I re-run npm install and get a couple of these errors:
npm ERR! Error: ENOENT, utime '/Users/cnokes/Downloads/mean-master2/node_modules/express/node_modules/fresh/index.js'
I've run in to this and think this might be connected to another issue.
Basically it's related to the number of open files (alot) that get open when we do a npm install.
It has been blogged about nicely here - http://otaqui.com/blog/1618/how-to-fix-error-emfile-too-many-open-files-from-yeoman-and-npm/
