I get the same error everytime I run npm start

Question

Guys I am new to React and I get this same error every time I run the command npm start. Can someone please help out because I am just stuck at this. Here is the error:

The system cannot find the path specified.
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:942
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\Owner\Documents\react-scripts\bin\react-scripts.js'

For All Operating => Windows, Linux, MacO

Delete the node_modules directory
Delete the package-lock.json file
Run npm install If this command does not work try the below command
Run npm install --save

it's becuase you must use npm install first to install node_modules in your project and then run the app with npm start.
