As you can see, running npm install failed:

npm install --save-dev --save-exact react-scripts failedallel extract 820```

(I presume there's more in the log but your report cut it off.)

We need to provide better error handling, but basically this means npm install failed on your machine for some reason. This could be a network issue, or some local problem with npm.

Can you try again? If it fails, can you post the complete npm output?
Thanks!

Going to close this since it's an npm issue (and likely due to the network), but filed #1505 so that we handle this more gracefully in the future.

you can get this error if you have low memory.

I had this issue and spent a long while trying to fix it, this is what worked for me. uninstalling and then reinstalling yarn. Then all worked fine, hope that helps someone
