Add the json and the code where you are importing it for us to see?

{
  "name": "course-directory",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "private": true,
  "devDependencies": {
    "react-scripts": "1.0.6"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "react": "^15.5.4",
    "react-dom": "^15.5.4",
    "react-router-dom": "^4.3.1"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "start": "react-scripts start",
    "build": "react-scripts build",
    "test": "react-scripts test --env=jsdom",
    "eject": "react-scripts eject"
  }
}

import React from 'react';
import {
  BrowserRouter,
    Route,
    Switch
} from 'react-router-dom';

Try deleting and reinstalling your node modules rm -rf node_modules and then reinstalling, either npm install or yarn install if you're using yarn.

Thanks, Brendan and Olu. I ran into the same problem and using "rm -rf node_modules" and then "npm i react-router-dom" fixed it for me.
