check this https://stackoverflow.com/a/18020195/2739391. even if you provide more details that will be good like what command you use to create react project which dependency installed ? check npm and node versions. – Atal Shrivastava

It looks like you're trying to run an npm script such as "npm start" in a folder that doesn't have a "package.json" file. Make sure you are in your React project's working directory and try again.
