Error: Cannot find module 'xdl' when running "npm start" in React Native

So I recently started learning React Native by following a Udemy course. Until now, everything has worked just fine, but a couple of days ago I got this error message when running the simple "npm start" command. I've tried a few solutions like reinstalling the node_modules folder, updating everything to the latest version, but that did not help. Has anybody got the solution for this?

Thanks in advance!

download the Git Bash and install it , once it's installed open as administrator and write the code
npm install -g expo-cli --force

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:888 throw err;

I have a project on Github that ignores the node_modules folder, so I changed my computer and and cloned the repository again.
I used the npm-install-all install all node dependencies, it used to work.
But today when doing this and running react-scripts start I had this problem:

I already tried to update the modules with npm install.
Has anyone been through this and can you help me, please?
Thanks.

I finally got it!
If you have the same problem, try:
rm -rf node_modules
then remove your package-lock.json and
npm install

For me it was an xcode issue.
Remove xcode cli tools: sudo rm -r -f /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
Reinstall: xcode-select --install
Then, delete node modules. Manually or with rm -rf node_modules
Should be good to go: npm install then npm start

this problem occur in node version-17 just download version-16 and it works

Error: Cannot find module ' buffer-shims'

I am working on a Reactjs project and was in the process of installing Electron. Every time I tried to install Electron globally I didn't have permission. I thought that by installing Homebrew I wouldn't run into this problem anymore. However, it created a bigger issue. I uninstalled homebrew to go back to my base. Now, every time I run NPM I get this error message:

I had this problem on my Mac. When I was trying to update npm.
/usr/local/lib/node_modules was owned by root and not by me on my machine.
I did a sudo chown -R <username_here> /usr/local/lib/node_modules on that directory. Then I deleted the whole directory rm -r /usr/local/lib/node_modules and then did a brew uninstall npm and a brew reinstall npm to fix this issue.

webpack-dev-server missing dependency 'hpack.js'

Starting a new project, I've installed the latest versions of webpack and webpack-dev-server. I've added the webpack-dev-server command to my start script in my package.json. Oddly, the dev server was working the first time I ran the project, but I then blew away my node_modules folder and reinstalled. Since reinstalling I am continually blocked by the following missing dependency error.
npm start
> webpack-dev-server
module.js:442

spdy-transport seems to be the culprit, but I am still getting the error even after explicitly running "npm install" on spdy-transports root, and ensuring that "hpack.js" exists.
Has anyone else experienced this missing dependency?

Resolved by running npm i -g npm#latest-4. Some versions of NPM don't correctly set the "main" field of package.json if the package contains a period.

any help is appreciated.

Try running
npm install streamsearch
Does this work?
This may be related:
Cannot install packages using node package manager in Ubuntu

Make sure you have installed streamsearch.
npm install streamsearch
If it is still not working, check that you have cloned stable for production or not. If you did, re-clone it and do installation steps again. Use sudo for npm/grunt commands (if you are on OSX or Linux) for npm ERR!.

I just looked at the Ghost Docs, and it says to install the dependencies for production you must run npm install --production and not npm install --productions. Once you install streamsearch, it will keep complaining until you have installed all the individual dependencies with npm install --production.
Hope this helps!
