npx create-react-app fails: dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _FSEventStreamCreate

[rjurney]

I can't create and work on a new react project. I am using node v15.8.0 installed via homebrew on OS X 10.14.6, npm 7.5.3 and XCode version 11.3.1 (11C504), which is the latest I can install.

The global modules installed are:

/usr/local/homebrew/lib
├── downloads@0.1.0
├── npm@7.5.3
├── serve@11.3.2
├── webpack-dev-server@3.11.2
├── webpack@5.21.2
└── yarn@1.22.10

I run what the directions on the new project site say, and things seem to work. Then I can't run yarn start in my project :(

Created git commit.

Success! Created deep_discovery_frontend at /foo/deep_discovery_frontend
Inside that directory, you can run several commands:

  yarn start
    Starts the development server.

  yarn build
    Bundles the app into static files for production.

  yarn test
    Starts the test runner.

  yarn eject
    Removes this tool and copies build dependencies, configuration files
    and scripts into the app directory. If you do this, you can’t go back!

We suggest that you begin by typing:

  cd deep_discovery_frontend
  yarn start

Happy hacking!

When I change directory into deep_discovery_frontend/ and run yarn start I get errors.

 yarn start

yarn run v1.22.0
