Module not found: Can't resolve 'react-avatar'

I am having a MERN website with 2 folders in the Github repo, client and backend. When I am turning on the react server the output page is showing an error as

Failed to compile
./src/components/Student/Student.jsx
Module not found: Can't resolve 'react-avatar' in '/MernCrudApp/client/src/components/Student'
This error occurred during the build time and cannot be dismissed.

To reproduce this error please follow the following steps.

  1. Clone the repo
  2. Go into the backend folder and write npm install in the terminal and then npm run start, and then enter the client folder and repeat the commands respectively.
Solution

  • There is no 'react-avatar' package in your client's package.json.

    npm install react-package in this folder and you should be good.
