how to fix node_modules error?

Please run expo diagnostics and paste the log that’s printed out along with your question or issue!

I use expo version 40 in my project and in my computer installed expo sdk version 42.
i did “npm start” and got error like this

i didn’t installed immutable package and pretty-format.
Why is there an error?

pretty-format is installed because it’s a dependency of something else.

I do have a file called node_modules/pretty-format/build/plugins/Immutable.js, so you should too. The fact that you don’t seem to implies that your node_modules directory is somehow corrupted or incomplete.

Try deleting node_modules and re-running npm install
