'Error: Cannot find module 'binary-extensions'

I am trying to use reactjs on local system. I followed the official documentation of reactjs and was trying its tutorial on tic tac toe.

For local development environment I followed all the steps but when I try to run npm start I am getting below error 

module.js:549
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'binary-extensions'

I am using Node v8.11.3 and npm v5.6.0

FYI I have installed binary-extensions using npm i binary-extensions but I am still getting same error.

Solution 1:[1]

Somehow, your project has lost track of the binary-extensions module.

The fix is simple.

In your project, delete node_modules/ and package-lock.json.

macOS / Linux:

rm -rf node_modules/
rm package-lock.json

Windows:

rmdir node_modules/
rm package-lock.json

Then,

npm install

This will resolve the issue.
