Some time back, I downloaded a react-tutorial-project from GitHub and tried to install the dependencies with the command npm install
. It threw the following error and I couldn't install the packages.
PS C:\Users\Sewwandi\Desktop\reactjs-tutorial-master> npm install
npm ERR! Cannot read property 'match' of undefined
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:

If you had the same error code, there is a quick workaround. Follow the following steps.
First step
Delete node_modules
and lock-file. (package-lock.json
, yarn.lock
)
Second step
Run npm install
again.
If there are any issues, feel free to share them in the comments section :)

Try deleting all the lock files including package-lock.json and yarn.lock
