Today when I am running the ng serve command, I get the ”node_modules appears empty, you may need to run `npm install`” error.

$ ng serve
node_modules appears empty, you may need to run `npm install`

I’m confused because I don’t have any experience with this problem. Everyone’s help will be very appreciated to me. Why this error happens and how to fix? I look forward to receiving your answer.

Thanks!

    The cause: This error occurs when the development server cannot operate due to missing packages in the node_modules/ folder

    Solution: To fix this error, make sure you have the node_modules/ folder created by the npm install command.

    After using the ng new or ember new commands, you might need to explicitly run npm install for older versions of Angular or Ember.

    Using the cd command, you can change the active directory of your command line to the folder where you develop the application.
