I have tried doing the following:
remove the node modules folder and run npm install
remove the node modules and package lock json and do npm install
re install node.js
delete the clone the repository again
I dont get what is wrong. When I look inside the node modules folder the module it is saying is missing is there. This is driving me nuts.
