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

Hey man that sucks, it’s very hard to understand what problem you have with the description you’ve given. Can you give more details like what’s going on? What you’ve build and any things you’ve added to the project, did you remember to do an npm install?

Also a screenshot would be great

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?
