To fix this , first check your package.json file and see if react-scripts is listed as one of the dependencies in your project.If package is listed do
```
npm install
```
if react-script is not listed do
```
npm install react-scripts
```

I ran into this recently (not sure what suddenly triggered the error), and the below worked for me.
1. Clean install with ‘npm ci‘,
  more info at (https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v9/commands/npm-ci)
2. Installed latest react-scripts ‘npm i react-scripts@latest‘
3. Added a devDependencies folder with react scripts to my package.json file as below (I kept it in my dependencies folder as well just in case):
  "devDependencies": {
  "react-scripts": "5.0.1"
  },
  More Info: (https://create-react-app.dev/)
4. ‘npm run build‘
5. ‘npm start‘
