I was trying to get my AirBnB linting to work and decided to uninstall my npm packages in order to do a fresh install of my package.json file.
I run the bash commands:
npm uninstall `ls -1 node_modules | tr '/\n' ' '`
After that, I followed the standard installation procedures for the codebase, which are only NPM installing in the right directory. I am pretty sure I did that right.
When running my Webpack set up npm start everything was going right, until I got the following error:

[nodemon] 1.11.0

webpack: bundle is now VALID.
It seems to be related with the react version, but I find it hard to believe because I didn't change anything on my package.json file.
Here's the relevant part for reference:
"dependencies": {
[...]
"react": "15.0.1",
"react-dom": "^15.0.0",
"react-redux": "^4.0.0",
"react-router": "^2.2.0",
"react-router-redux": "^4.0.0",
How do I fix this?
Consider using yarn as an alternative to NPM. Yarn provides deterministic installs by creating a yarn.lock file, which ensures that deps installed on different machines at different times all resolve to the same versions, similar to npm install --save-exact foo.
Running yarn (shorthand for yarn install) is equivalent to rm -rf node_modules && npm install, which is the first step for resolving npm issues, as @Yan Maleksi suggested.
Yarn will represent install conflicts differently to npm, too, which may make it easier to see which dependency is a problem. In your case, a search for 'Cannot resolve module 'react/lib/ReactComponentTreeHook' suggests that react-hot-loader may be a problem, but it's hard to tell without seeing the entire list of dependencies, and associated install errors.
