Yes, 'ENOENT' errors can sometimes be indirectly caused by npm or yarn issues. If a dependency is missing or corrupted, Node.js might not be able to locate the required files. Try deleting `node_modules` and running `npm install` or `yarn install` to reinstall dependencies. Also, ensure you have the correct permissions to access the `node_modules` directory. Occasionally, a corrupted npm cache can cause issues, requiring a cache clear (`npm cache clean --force`).
