I am trying to install a fresh laravel 8 project. After downloading frontend scaffolding when I try to run npm run dev it gives me an error. This problem also happens during installing jetstream in this npm run dev. I am giving error below.

unkno@DESKTOP-NAP4DRR MINGW64 /c/laravel projects/example
$ npm run dev

> @ dev C:\laravel projects\example
> npm run development


> @ development C:\laravel projects\example

I can see you are a Windows developer, and that you have spaces in the name of your project folder. Windows, spaces and nodejs don't like to behave very nicely together.

Try removing the spaces from name of your project path and see if this addresses the issue for you.

Update: As per a similar question, Laravel, error when running npm run dev on fresh new installation, this solved the users issue.

I experienced the same problem a few weeks ago. What I figured out was that on windows that instead of running the command npm install && npm run dev it needed to be npm install and npm run-dev.

Also make sure you have the latest node and npm versions install. Perform a npm audit fix as well to fix any vulnerabilities.

Try doing a full reset:

rm -rf node_modules

rm package-lock.json yarn.lock

npm cache clear --force

npm install

It works for me, on Laravel 9
