Module build failed (from ./node_modules/babel-loader/lib/index.js): Error: Cannot find module 'babel-core'

Question

I have been programming a database that is linked to React, but after a while I installed a library that is babel-core and other libraries, but always when compiling I get an error that is the following:

ERROR in ./src/app/index.js
Module build failed (from ./node_modules/babel-loader/lib/index.js):

But I have changed it and the error keeps appearing, I don't know how to solve it, if someone knows please help me

Webpack.Confg:

module.exports = {
    entry: './src/app/index.js',
    output: {
      path: __dirname + '/src/public/js',
      filename: 'bundle.js'
    },
    module: {
      rules: [
        {
          use: 'babel-loader',
          test: /\.js$/,
          exclude: /node_modules/
        }
      ]
    }
  };

Remove your node_modules and follow these steps:

 npm install --save-dev @babel/core @babel/cli @babel/preset-env @babel/node

Then, check the existence of these files:

node_modules/.bin/babel-node

node_modules/.bin/babel-node.cmd - windows only

node_modules/@babel/node/bin/babel-node.js

Generally, these issues might come in due to the version conflicts. Try to install nvm and use lesser node version. Also, you should use previous versions of babel packages

@babel/preset-env

@babel/preset-react
