@Akshay130503 if you share the log, we can examine it further. Before that, can you make sure you do have the right node and npm version that are compatible? Also, you can try to do the following

1. Clear the npm cache using npm cache clean --force
2. Delete node_module and package-lock.json
3. Reinstall the packages
