Answer 1

This error indicates that there is an error inside your package.json, specifically near the line where the express dependency is declared.

If you shared your package.json file, we would get better information about the problem.

you can try to run the following command: rm package-lock.json Removing the lock file and running npm install again could help resolve the problem.
