Why npm start is getting error for react project?

Question

I'm trying to start a React application, with npm but I get this error:

      events.js:174
          throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
          ^

     Error: spawn cmd ENOENT
          at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:240:19)
          at onErrorNT (internal/child_process.js:415:16)
          at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:63:19)
    Emitted 'error' event at:
          at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:246:12)
          at onErrorNT (internal/child_process.js:415:16)
          at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:63:19)

I'm using node version 10.16.3 and npm 6.13.6. I've cleaned npm cache and install npm again, but I'm getting always the same error

Does this answer your question? Problem with npm start (error : spawn cmd ENOENT) — Freddy

Looks like you're trying to spawn cmd, which doens't exist. cmd.bat, however, does. — Mike 'Pomax' Kamermans

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.

Hey Anil, please always read the question, in this case the OP has already done so, read I've cleaned npm cache and install npm again

the problem is fixed , i've installed another version of "react-scripts" , because the actuel version is not stable , so i use to overwrite it with the given version, so use this command to install :

npm install [email protected]

Once the installation is completed your can run your reac app :

npm start
