How do I run this app?

[PrashantSaikia]

I installed all the packages and dependencies with sudo npm install -g nodemon. Then when I want to run the project with node script.js, this is what I get:

npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall open
npm ERR! path /Users/username/Downloads/Face-Recognition-JavaScript-master/package.json
npm ERR! errno -2
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/username/Downloads/Face-Recognition-JavaScript-master/package.json'
npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.

Have to install all the packages like this npm i?

[amouratoglou]

really? there is not package.json

[amouratoglou]

the way to run is to create a node server to serve the index.html file a quick way:

npx serve then open http://localhost:3000

this could be included in the docs to help others try the example locally.

the index.html file won't resolve well the JS modules maps within an Apache server,
