Cannot find module metro-core

Error: cannot find module metro-core

When you encounter the “cannot find module” error with the specific module name “metro-core”, it means that the module named “metro-core” is not installed or is not accessible by your application.

Possible Causes

• The module “metro-core” is not installed in your project.
• You might have misspelled the module name or provided an incorrect path to the module.
• The module “metro-core” is not compatible with the version of Node.js or package manager (such as npm or yarn) you are using.

Solution

Here are a few steps you can follow to resolve the “cannot find module metro-core” error:

1. Double-check that the module “metro-core” is listed as a dependency in your project’s package.json file. If it’s missing, you need to install it.
2. If you have already installed “metro-core” but still getting the error, try reinstalling it by running the following command in your project’s root directory:

   npm install metro-core

   or

   yarn add metro-core

3. Make sure the spelling and case of the module name “metro-core” are correct. Remember that module names are case-sensitive.
4. If you are importing the module using a relative path (e.g., “../node_modules/metro-core”), ensure that the path is correct and the module is located at the specified location.
5. If none of the above solutions work, the “metro-core” module might not be compatible with your version of Node.js or the package manager. In this case, you can try updating your Node.js version or find an alternative module that serves the same purpose.

Example

For example, let’s assume you are using npm as your package manager, and you encountered the “cannot find module metro-core” error while running your project. To resolve the issue, you can run the following command in your project’s root directory:
