Cant get the client to run.

I can get the API to install and run correctly but the client gives an error:

/Users/andrewhinkson/Documents/Practice/Unit10Practice/React Hooks Practice/client/node_modules/chokidar/lib/fsevents-handler.js:28
  return (new fsevents(path)).on('fsevent', callback).start();
          ^

TypeError: fsevents is not a constructor

Im running: macOS Cataline 10.15.7 npm -v 6.14.11

Any help would be appreciated.
