I got that error:



users-Air:pdfuploader user$ npm run start




client@0.1.0 start /Users/user/Documents/pdfuploader



react-scripts start




Could not find a required file.
Name: index.html
Searched in: /Users/user/Documents/pdfuploader/public
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
npm ERR! client@0.1.0 start: `react-scripts start`
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the client@0.1.0 start script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! /Users/user/.npm/_logs/2018-11-19T10_19_14_555Z-debug.log
users-Air:pdfuploader user$


And the file is in /Users/user/Documents/pdfuploader/public as you can see in my github repository: https://github.com/damianjnc/pdfuploader What can I do about it?

    Do you run the command from the client directory? Side note: Never commit the node_modules directory. Use .gitignore to ignore it.
