'react-scripts' is not recognized as an internal or external command

For me, I just re-installed the react-scripts instead of react-scripts --save.

This worked for me:

- Go to the project folder in CLI and type **npm install**.Go for a similar command if
using yarn etc.

- Then type **npm start** if you are using Npm. Go for a similar command if using yarn
etc.

- The file starts working

first run:

npm ci

then:

npm start

Try:

rm -rf node_modules && npm install

Wiping `node_modules` first, often tends to fix a lot of weird, package related issues like that in Node.

It is an error about **react-scripts** file missing in your `node_modules/` directory at the time of installation.

Check your react-script dependency is avaliable or not in `package.json`.

If not available then add it manually via:

npm install react-scripts --save

Running the `npm update` command solved my problem.

1. I uninstalled my Node.js and showed hidden files.

2. Then, I went to `C:\Users\yourpcname\AppData\Roaming\` and deleted the `npm` and `npm-cache` folders.

3. Finally, I installed a new version of Node.js.

Running these commands worked for me:

npm cache clean --force
npm rebuild
npm install

If `react-scripts` is present in `package.json`, then just type this command

npm install

If `react-scripts` is not present in `package.json`, then you probably haven't installed it. To do that, run:

npm install react-scripts --save

To rectify this issue follow the following steps


1. run `npm install`
2. then run `npm start`

This worked fine for me
