Answer 1

seems like you are simply just missing to install the OpenZeppelin library in your project. To fix the issue, you can simply run the following command

npm install @openzeppelin/contracts

Try to check whether you can find any @openzeppelin folder under node_modules. If there is, then the import should not fail.

Hope this helps~
