Mongoose error "throw new MongooseError('The `uri` parameter to `openUri()` must be a ' +" on running npm start #22

I forked the main branch; ran the first command npm install and it installed the necessary modules;

when I ran the next command npm start this is the error log I received in the terminal; I visited StackOverflow looking for answers to no avail.

Server started on port 3000...
D:\Github Repos\Demosignin\node_modules\mongoose\lib\connection.js:680
    throw new MongooseError('The `uri` parameter to `openUri()` must be a ' +
          ^

MongooseError: The `uri` parameter to `openUri()` must be a string, got "undefined". Make sure the first parameter to `mongoose.connect()` or `mongoose.createConnection()` is a string.
