React Components - Scoreboard Project Installation Dec 2020

I followed the steps to start running the project and ran into several problems which took me a while to solve, which is why I hope this information helps someone starting this course, just notice the following:

I'm using VSC v. 1.51.1 on a Mac running OS Catalina 10.157

  1. Make sure that npm and node are up to date: npm v 6.14.8 node v.14.15.1

  2. If you run npm install and then 'npm start' and start getting the following error TypeError: fsevents is not a constructor at createFSEventsInstance

You need to delete the node_modules you just installed and your package-lock.json using the command line in VSC like this:

rm -rf package-lock.json node_modules

Then again run npm install followed by npm start

If for some reason you cannot open it like this, paste the error on Google, must of the time will redirect to Stack Overflow and buried among the answers will be something that soles the problem. Good luck!
