It looks like you don't have installed node packages.

Install them using:

1. continuous integration mode:

npm ci install

Notes:

ci option prevents against packages versions changing,
it can be used if package-lock.json file is available.

2. normal installation mode:

npm install

You can solve it by going through the following steps:

Open the Terminal in the main directory of your React project (the folder containing src/, .gitignore, package.json, etc.),
use npm install command.

The second option is that you are missing react-scripts in package.json file.

In this case you should use:

npm install react-scripts --save
