NPM start does not work.
Node: v12.6.0 npm: 6.10.0
Note: I put the project directory into the Trash, and ran npm start
in there and it worked. Does anyone have any idea why it's working?
What I've tried:
npx create-react-app my-app
cd my-app
npm start
installed the latest version of npm
installed the latest version of node
reinstalled node modules
deleted node and npm and reinstalled
sh: react-scripts: command not found

What can I do now?
I am thinking there is an error with Node. I have both a /usr/local npm file as well as an npm file within nvm folder.

I had same problem like yours. I tried all the answers on this post and none helped me. I had the trouble in the path, it had a non acepted character (double dot in my case ':').
I modified the path and the problem was solved. Maybe for this reason your project runs on trash.
Check your path to ensure that it's right and it doesn't contains a non acepted character. Also to can try to move the project folder to the root of your disk and try starting up from there.

Run these steps in this order
rm -rf node_modules (or if this does not work remove with the force flag rm -rf node_modules -- force
rm ./package-lock.json (or if this does not work try) rm .\package-lock.json
npm run clean (or if this does not work) npm cache clean (or if this does not work) npm cache clean --force
npm install -g npm@latest
npm uninstall -g create-react-app npm install -g create-react-app
If the create react-app does not work reinstall npm install --save react react-dom react-scripts (and any other dependencies)

Please, try the following inside your terminal:
First remove all node_modules:
rm -fr node_modules/
followed by:
npm install npm@latest -g
npm install -g create-react-app
npm init react-app my-app

This might be because you might have installed create-react-app
globally in the past. Uninstall the earlier create-react-app
with the following command.
sudo npm uninstall -g create-react-app
Remove the already created project directory followed by installation of your my-app
rm -rf my-app
npx create-react-app my-app
