While starting the server for the first time just after the code checkout , my react js project is throwing error \"events.js:187 throw er; // Unhandled \'error\'

Answer 1

In your package.json file try lowering the version of "react-scripts" to "2.1.8":

"dependencies": { 
    "@testing-library/jest-dom": "^4.2.4",  
    "@testing-library/react": "^9.4.0",  
    "@testing-library/user-event": "^7.2.1",  
    "react": "^16.12.0",  
    "react-dom": "^16.12.0",  
    "react-scripts": "2.1.8"  
  },  

Above works for me.
