Could you post your package.json, if possible?

[Ayase-252]

How about adding a start in scripts, then run npm run start?

@Ayase-252 No it is not working as I mentioned above Same error script missing

[Ayase-252]

emm... It's weird....

Can you confirm you execute command in right directory?

[Rajshah1897]

@Ayase-252 Yes I executed in correct directory. Npm install and Npm start

[Rajshah1897]

Why it's script missing error? What I am missing?

[Ayase-252]

I'm also confused. The error indicates that there is no start field in scripts in package.json

I've suggested that to add start. Therefore, I'm out of idea about the issue....

@Rajshah1897 If you are using this package.json. Then it's clear that you have missed the "start" in scripts section. And if you don't add start and try running "npm start" it will search for "server.js" and when not found it will throw this error. And I am assumming you main file is index.js here, Please correct me If I am wrong? If So the as @Ayase-252 also suggested add "start": "node index.js" this and try running.

[Rajshah1897]

So what would be my next step?

[Ayase-252]

Again, I'd suggest to add "start": "node index.js" in scripts section in your package.json. Double check that field exists in package.json before run npm run start, then run it.

@Ayase-252 seemed to provide several solution steps, and with no response, I'm assuming this issue is resolved. If you disagree, please followup with a member of the Node.js team.

Thank you!
