Gatsby: There was a problem loading the local develop command

[JaybeeClassical]

Recoded my portfolio page in my gatsby site and tried to run but got an error, so i decided to use my Source control on Visual studio code to undo my code changes and then ran my gatsby site but got an error

C:\Users\Jaybee\Desktop\Projects\IamJude>gatsby develop

ERROR

There was a problem loading the local develop command. Gatsby may not be installed in your site's "node_modules" directory. Perhaps you need to run "npm install"? You might need to delete your "package-lock.json" as well.

I went future to update my npm using "npm install update" but got an error messages

Hi there, what Node version are you using? Are you using gatsby-cli globally?

Here are a couple of things you could try:

• Check that gatsby-cli is installed on your PATH by running gatsby --help, see if it has the same error
• If it's a problem with a dependency, delete the node_modules folder in your project as well as the package-lock.json file, run gatsby clean to delete the cache, run npm install and gatsby develop again.

C:\Users\Jaybee\Desktop\Projects\IamJude>gatsby --version
Gatsby CLI version: 2.7.30
Gatsby version: unknown
Note: this is the Gatsby version for the site at: C:\Users\Jaybee\Desktop\Projects\IamJude

node version: v12.8.1

Ran the gatsby --help and got
C:\Users\Jaybee\Desktop\Projects\IamJude>gatsby --help

Usage: gatsby [options]

Commands:
gatsby develop Start development server. Watches files, rebuilds, and hot reloads if something changes
gatsby build Build a Gatsby project.
gatsby serve Serve previously built Gatsby site.

deleted the node_modules and package-lock.json files and ran gatsby clean but same error appeared
