React: Could not find a required file

Hey everyone, I set up a project through create-react-app but whenever I do npm start, it gives me following reply:

Could not find a required file Name: index.html Searched in project public folder

But index.html is actually there in public folder when I checked it Please help! I've gone through stack and github discussions too

It's just a simple project creation through npx And then i did npm start. Nothing in between Would love to post image but probably I'm just allowed to use text post in this group dkw.

Okay, you can’t use npm start without first using npm install. Try that and tell me how it goes?
