Answer 1

I received the same error when i was trying to install the dependencies of my project.

Solution:

• Delete the node_modules folder of the project
• Remove the yarn.lock or package.lock file from your project
• Install the dependencies again, by using yarn or npm install command.

The above steps fixed my error with the @babel/generator.

Answer 2

Simply delete the node_modules folder and re-install all the packages by running npm install or yarn install.

If the error persists, simply install the @babel/generator package to your project or globally.
