enter image description hereI have worked on a React/Typescript application on my Mac Machine, and zipped up the application (including node_modules) and emailed it to a colleague via Google Drive (Link). However, I was informed that this error (pictured above) occurred when attempting to run the application with 'npm install' and 'npm run start'. I have tried testing the application by sending the zipped app to my Windows machine and it seems to work fine.

My colleague is on a Linux/Ubuntu machine. I'm not very familiar with Linux, and not quite sure how to resolve this, and am open to suggestions.

Probably your colleague is running outdated version of node and npm. I guess that the project was created with create-react-app. If it's true, your colleague will need to have Node >= 14.0.0 and npm >= 5.6 on the machine.

when using a older version of node this error occured in my case(node version -10.16.0). So i upgraded my node version to 16.3.2 and tried.Then it worked prefectly.
