npm start

> frontend@0.1.0 start
> react-scripts start

sh: /Users/..../...../...../frontend/node_modules/.bin/react-scripts: Permission denied
.... frontend %

Does this answer your question? ["npm run build" = "react-scripts: Permission denied"](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62140265/npm-run-build-react-scripts-permission-denied) — Mahdi Zarei, Jan 20 '22 at 13:39
`packages.json` has to be checked, where script start points. — Alex Szücs, Sep 01 '22 at 15:03

You don't have required permissions in the given directory.
You can run

sudo npm start

or update permissions for the directory

sudo chmod 777 -R Your_Dir/

Just run the command below in project root. You might installed it globally.

npm install react-scripts --save
