Try running npm installin your directory, if this doesn't solve, then edit your message adding your package.json file. Hope it helps – soutot
after npm install – Jawad
Try to install git... And then redo your npm install. – zer0chain

When I Installed the react-navigation package that error occurred for me. I've fixed my issue

  1. Delete node_modules, package-lock.json
  2. run "yarn install".
  3. run "npm start".

This is might be because of npm version v5 so

npm 5 is still very buggy, please either use yarn or npm version 4.

npm i -g yarn
npm i -g npm@4

OR make sure you do npm install from your project directory. This is also one of the reason why you get this error

npm i

You can see on the first line that git is not found

==> npm WARN addRemoteGit Error: not found: git

install git first.
