sudo npm start hangs on service start

[RohanKurane]

I am running 'sudo npm start' on Ubuntu 16.04LTS and it hangs when it should start the web server. From npm-debug.log

0 info it worked if it ends with ok 1 verbose cli [ '/usr/bin/nodejs', '/usr/bin/npm', 'start' ] 2 info using npm@3.5.2 3 info using node@v4.2.6 4 verbose run-script [ 'prestart', 'start', 'poststart' ] 5 info lifecycle CM-UI@0.1.0~prestart: CM-UI@0.1.0 6 silly lifecycle CM-UI@0.1.0~prestart: no script for prestart, continuing 7 info lifecycle CM-UI@0.1.0~start: CM-UI@0.1.0 8 verbose lifecycle CM-UI@0.1.0~start: unsafe-perm in lifecycle true 9 verbose lifecycle CM-UI@0.1.0~start: PATH: /usr/share/npm/bin/node-gyp-bin:/home/ubuntu/gui/node_modules/.bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/snap/bin 10 verbose lifecycle CM-UI@0.1.0~start: CWD: /home/ubuntu/gui 11 silly lifecycle CM-UI@0.1.0~start: Args: [ '-c', 'node scripts/server.js' ] 12 silly lifecycle CM-UI@0.1.0~start: Returned: code: 1 signal: null 13 info lifecycle CM-UI@0.1.0~start: Failed to exec start script 14 verbose stack Error: CM-UI@0.1.0 start: node scripts/server.js 14 verbose stack Exit status 1 14 verbose stack at EventEmitter.

How can I fix this ?

I am connecting the server to port 8000.
