Updating the version from
"react-scripts": "3.3.1",
to
"react-scripts": "3.4.1",

@einazare Yep, I put that solution in place but just thought I'd chime in to let you know that it's not isolated to one user. Cheers!

Hello - just running this demo design system theme today, and can report the same issue as of today, for any future developers who find this.

The error message reads as above, and the solution also reads as above:

Update package.json to "react-scripts": "3.4.1" and then run npm run install:clean

Thank you, this Issue report was very helpful and the design system looks great!
