I ran into this issue on Ubuntu 20.04.

I fixed it by running sudo apt-get install build-essential, and then running npm install again

I then ran into build issues as well when trying to run yarn start build. I fixed those by uninstalling my nodejs installation, ( which I had build using the nodejs binary distributions ) by running sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove nodejs, and installing it by running sudo apt install nodejs.

After this I was able to run yarn start build without errors.

Following on from the above, I’ve got the app working fine with my own code, but didn’t bother trying anything else to get the example app running. It’s a good boiletplate apart from those teething problems.
