Try running npm install to install all the required modules.

Thanks mate. I did. However i have noticed this project is using .pnp.cjs file. Looks like it's looking at cache folder. Can you give me an idea how pnp works?

 

[Johna]

I have no idea what the .pnp.cjs file is, but if i search, it seems to have something to do with the yarn package manager. Are you using yarn or npm?

 

[Tom313]

Ok, I am using yarn. What could be the issue with yarn package manager?

I've never used yarn before, I always use npm.
Is there a reason why you're using both yarn and npm, rather than only one of them?
