✅
you can remove the lock files generated (package-lock.json)
and then remove the node modules from your project.
And then again try to download the dependencies via npm
as npm install

In project folder:
rm package_lock.json
rm -r node_modules
npm install
Turns out I had package_lock.json on git from another system. Removed it and it worked.
