Hi Alejandro Jiménez-Flores!

Sounds like there might be something unexpected going on related to your node_modules folder. Try deleting the node_modules folder and the package-lock.json file (not the package.json file!) and then run npm install again and see what happens.

When I download the files I am able to run npm install and npm start and start the app up without issue.

I hope that helps!
