To solve the error "Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '@babel/runtime/helpers'", make sure to install the @babel/runtime package by opening your terminal and running the npm install @babel/runtime command.

module not found cant resolve babel runtime

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

shell

Copied!
# 👇️ with NPM
npm install @babel/runtime

# ----------------------------------------------

# 👇️ with YARN
yarn add @babel/runtime

npm install babel runtime

The command will add the @babel/runtime package to the dependencies of your project.

Make sure to restart your development server and your IDE if necessary. Your dev server won't pick up the changes until you stop it and re-run the npm start command.

# Delete node_modules and reinstall your dependencies

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

If you are on Windows, open CMD (Command Prompt) and run the following commands.

shell

Copied!
# 👇️  (Windows) delete node_modules and package-lock.json
rd /s /q "node_modules"
del package-lock.json
del -f yarn.lock

# 👇️ clean your npm cache
npm cache clean --force

# 👇️ install packages
npm install

If you are on macOS or Linux, run the following commands in bash or zsh.
