Do I need to download node_modules every time I create React JS project?

Question

https://www.sololearn.com/post/1741415/?ref=app

I created a React project in Visual Studio 2022.
Then, the modules were automatically downloaded

The size of node_modules is 200MB.

Is it possible to create a new project without needing to download a new node_modules folder?
