Solve - Cannot find module '@babel/core' error #

To solve the error "Cannot find module '@babel/core'", make sure to install the @babe/core package by opening your terminal in your project's root directory and running the following command: npm i -D @babel/core and restart your IDE and development server.

Open your terminal in your project's root directory (where your package.json file is located) and run the following command:

Copied!
npm install --save-dev @babel/core

# 👇️ only if you use TypeScript
npm install --save-dev @types/babel__core

If the error is not resolved, try restarting your IDE and your development server.

If you still get the error, try to delete your node_modules and package-lock.json (not package.json) files, re-run npm install and restart your IDE.

Copied!
# 👇️ delete node_modules and package-lock.json
rm -rf node_modules
rm -f package-lock.json

# 👇️ clean npm cache
npm cache clean --force

npm install

If you're still getting the "Cannot find module '@babel/core'" error, open your package.json file and make sure it contains the @babel/core package in the devDependencies object.

Copied!
{
  // ... rest
  "devDependencies": {
    "@babel/core": "^7.17.8",

    // 👇️ only if using TypeScript
    "@types/babel__core": "^7.1.19",
  }
}

You can try to manually add the line and re-run npm install.

Copied!
npm install

Or install the latest version of the package:

Copied!
npm install --save-dev @babel/core@latest

# 👇️ only if you use TypeScript
npm install --save-dev @types/babel__core@latest

The @babel/core module should NOT be globally installed or be in your project's dependencies, it should be in the devDependencies object in your package.json file.
