This project doesn't use the angular cli, it uses webpack directly. To start run the command npm start

Make sure you are in correct repository or opening correct folder. As shown in below attachment, you need to open that folder in angular.

@svdevendra yep, this worked. thanks!

@svdevendra Please, what exactly did you do?

[vrdevendra]

@khaldounjalem Nothing special, look closely error saying itself "The serve command requires to be run in an Angular project, but a project definition could not be found" it means that the command which you are trying to execute is run on angular project only so either you opened wrong project (other than angular) or wrong directory.

all solutions available here is not working for me

https://github.com/abhianshu2020/Hearti-Health download files from here and run it..

Please check if node modules are installed properly. If yes, refresh node module folder and try running app in parent directory.

@khaldounjalem Nada especial, mira de cerca el error diciéndose a sí mismo "El comando de servicio requiere ejecutarse en un proyecto angular, pero no se pudo encontrar una definición de proyecto", significa que el comando que está intentando ejecutar se ejecuta solo en un proyecto angular abriste un proyecto incorrecto (que no sea angular) o un directorio incorrecto.

excelente respuesta, muchas gracias

I did the same thing, but it's not working. I don't know what I have to do. I'm in the correct repository and the right project. Someone can help?

This project doesn't use the angular cli, it uses webpack directly. To start run the command npm start

it works

Igot the error "The serve command requires to be run in an Angular project, but a project definition could not be found" in two different condition 1)when our project is just static and we are running this project in from different folder. solution :- Go to the same folder in terminal using "cd" command where our project is located.

2)When we clone dynamic project from github and then try to run "ng serve" command in terminal. At that time you will get same error Solution :-Run the ".sln" file using visual studio.
