Check whether your package.json have swiper

There are 4 steps to solve this problem

Remove "swiper" : "^5.4.5" from package.json file.(Check there should be no comma in last line of your json file)
Run npm install command in your terminal.
Run npm install swiper command.
Now you will see everything has been installed successfully.

Just don't install it from Git Bash on Windows. Use cmd.exe and it works as a charm !
