Error running storybook - sh: 1: start-storybook: not found

I am facing error running storybook.... even on a clean installation.

 npm run storybook

> @ storybook /media/programmersedge/New_Volume/devs/demostorybook
> start-storybook -p 9001 -c .storybook

sh: 1: start-storybook: not found
npm ERR! file sh
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall spawn
npm ERR! @ storybook: `start-storybook -p 9001 -c .storybook`
npm ERR! spawn ENOENT
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! Failed at the @ storybook script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

I am using the latest storybook version. and my node version is 6.11.1 and npm version is 5.5.1

I also tried installing storybook with yarn but I am facing the same problem yarn version 1.3.2

First check the storybook version, If you're on storybook V7 then storybook-build commands will not work. You've to update your commands using npx storybook@next automigrate and for detailed steps please refer official page https://storybook.js.org/docs/sharing/publish-storybook

Storybook v7

If you are facing this issue with Storybook 7, note that start-storybook and build-storybook were removed on 7.0.0-alpha.0 (June 7, 2022).

You should now use storybook dev or storybook build

I had this happen after deleting my node_modules folder (rm -rf node_modules) and then re-installing.

I checked all the all versions of storybook (and anything related to storybook) in my package.json and made sure they all had exact versions at 6.5 like

 "storybook": "6.5.14",
 "@storybook/react": "6.5.16",
 "@storybook/addon-docs": "6.5.16",

After deleting and installing again, it worked!

Obviously do not upgrade if you want to remain on 6.5 and continue to use this start-storybook command

This error is due to the node_modules folder. If you delete that folder and run npm install. it will work. Mostly due to cropped dependency linking If you have configured a react app by yourself then the storyboard may need some other configuration. If you use create-react-app or react-npm-package-developer for React then it should work

First of all, just make sure you are in the right folder. I know it sounds dumb, but when we are tired sometimes we commit dumb errors

In my case restarting the system hasn't helped. But reinstalling the application help.

In most cases, you need to manually install @storybook/cli by running

# For npm
npm i -D @storybook/cli

# For yarn
yarn add -D @storybook/cli
