Coworker created an project with create-react-app, it works on his computer. I cloned, ran npm install, and then npm start, got the following failing error:

can someone help with this? thanks
PS: I have tried removing node_modules and rerun npm install, uninstall/reinstall node, and etc.
Found this thread https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/issues/9594 which seems to indicate reinstalling node would fix the issue, but it's not working for me.
Follow-up: completely removed node with additional manual steps, e.g., as suggested here https://stackabuse.com/how-to-uninstall-node-js-from-mac-osx/, then repeat the process, then got a slightly different error log:
23 verbose stack Error: command failed

BROWSER=none?BROWSER=none npm startor whatever the current way to start up CRA apps is--it's just a sanity check. There are several things that can cause startup failures; you'll probably have to search and just start plugging through them, but start w/ checking versions of everything and make sure they're aligned (e.g., NodeJS and CRA to start).
