It relates to sha3 issues
When cd client and npm ci, it fails with the same error
But npm i works

[Dmdv]

I confirm the same in Ubuntu 20

I fixed it in Ubuntu using

"web3": "^1.3.0"

in package.json

[Dmdv]

And the same works for Windows

Please, update your truffle unpack react

Hi! We haven't updated to web3 1.3 because of this bug that was introduced in 1.2.10 but still hasn't been fixed yet. I may have to go pester them about it -- or submit a PR myself...

[Dmdv]

That could save hours for others )

@Dmdv What package.json are you editing? For the record, I just confirmed that on a mac this box has no problems unboxing successfully (aside from some ugly warnings in the console).

[Dmdv]

@eggplantzzz When unpacking crashed, I cd into client directory and edit package.json in the client directory.
After this, I run npm i to complete.

Ok thanks for reporting this @Dmdv!

Well, I submitted this PR to web3, hopefully they merge and release it before too long so we can upgrade...

[Dmdv]

It works!
