Solution
run npm install (or yarn) to ensure all deps are downloaded.

Alternative Solution
If node_modules exists, remove it with rm -rf node_modules and then run npm install (or yarn).

I had similar issue. In my case it helped to have Yarn installed and first execute the command

yarn

and then execute the command

yarn start

That could work for you too if the project that you cloned have the yarn.lock file. Hope it helps!
