I get this error when I run npm start.
npm ERR! Missing script: "start"
npm ERR! Did you mean one of these?
npm ERR! npm star # Mark your favorite packages
npm ERR! npm stars # View packages marked as favorites
npm ERR! To see a list of scripts, run:
npm ERR! npm run

package.json has various sections, scripts is one of them, which allows you to write npm scripts which we can run using npm run <script-name>. The error you're getting is because your start script is missing in that section.
For a node app, your package.json file should look similar to this.
{
"name": "server",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "app.js",
"scripts": {
"start": "node app.js",
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
"keywords": [],
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"dependencies": {
"body-parser": "^1.20.0",
"cors": "^2.8.5",
"express": "^4.17.3"
}
}
In the above code, focus on the scripts section. The following line is missing in your package.json file.
"scripts": {
"start": "node app.js",
},
Add this line and you're good to go.
Option_1: Control inside file "package.json":
"scripts": {
"start": "what command is here?",
},
Option_2: Control Terminal (folder) where you write command OR open the responding terminal for your project: right-click
on the project name -> "Open in integrated Terminal"
You have to put what command you need npm to run when you give npm start.
You have to write node index.js in scripts.start in your package.json file
I have a basic Discord bot I am trying to publish through Heroku because I can't host it locally anymore.
Should mention that it runs perfectly fine when hosted locally on my VM.
When trying to push to Heroku through cli or git I am getting an error which says:
npm ERR! cipm can only install packages when your package.json and package-lock.json or npm-shrinkwrap.json are in sync. Please update your lock file with npm install before continuing.
remote: npm ERR!
remote: npm ERR!
remote: npm ERR! Missing: enmap#^5.2.4
remote: npm ERR! Missing: eslint#^7.2.0
Tried googling and and still have no idea how these package files work, so would be grateful if someone could tell me what to change.
package.json
{
"name": "sidbot2",
"version": "2.3.2",
"description": "",
"main": "sidbot.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
"keywords": [],
"author": "sidilleth",
"license": "ISC",
"dependencies": {
"discord.js": "^12.2.0",
"enmap": "^5.2.4"
"eslint": "^7.2.0"
},
"devDependencies": {
"eslint": "^7.2.0"
}
}
Remove the eslint from dependencies as it is already present in the dev dependencies. It should look similar to this:
{
"name": "sidbot2",
"version": "2.3.2",
"description": "",
"main": "sidbot.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},

"author": "sidilleth",

"dependencies": {
"discord.js": "^12.2.0",
"enmap": "^5.2.4"
},
"devDependencies": {
"eslint": "^7.2.0"
}
}
Delete node_modules folder and execute npm install.
Also make sure that the all the changes made in package.json and package-lock.json has been committed to git.
i did a fresh "npm init". put entry point : "index.html"

But when I did "npm start" , getting this error

I was too facing the same issue after a system shutdown, hence this worked for me:
First uninstall the current local lite-server in node_modules
npm uninstall lite-server
Install lite-server globally and try running the same command
npm install -g lite-server
then hit:
npm start
This fixed the issue for me, thank you
Here's my Json file script if you want to have a look
"scripts": {
"start": "npm run lite",
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
"lite": "lite-server"
},
You don't seem to have node/npm installed and configured properly (PATH issues).
I would suggest you try to re-install Node.js using the official instructions for your platform (https://nodejs.org/en/download/) or by using a Node.js version manager like nvm (https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) or n (https://github.com/tj/n).
Using nvm or n, will allow you to dynamically switch Node.js version without having to re-install everything from scratch.
Just install the live-server globally,i think that should solve the issue.
sudo npm install --global lite-server
And in your package.json file you can change a little bit.
{
"name": "git-test",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.html",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
"start": "lite-server",
},
"author": "Sateesh",
"license": "ISC",
"dependencies": {
"lite-server": "^2.5.4"
}
}
After this run this on terminal
npm start
I think this should help :)
I had a similar issue,yarn start worked for
I am new to react js and I have installed the dependencies for the application. Below is my package file:
package.json
{
"name": "reactapp",
"version": "0.0.0",
"description": "learn and test",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"start": "webpack-dev-server --hot"
},
"author": "john doe",
"license": "BSD-2-Clause",
"dependencies": {
"webpack": "~1.13.3",
"webpack-dev-server": "~1.16.2",
"react": "~15.3.2",
"react-dom": "~15.3.2"
},
"devDependencies": {}
}
It throws the error:
npm ERR! weird error 1
npm WARN This failure might be due to the use of legacy binary "node"
npm WARN For further explanations, please read
/usr/share/doc/nodejs/README.Debian
npm ERR! not ok code 0
But, in the terminal while it doesn't show up anything when in scripts it is
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
You need to use the sudo command while installing nodejs-legacy.
Executing sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy from your command line/shell will resolve the issue.
I have a node project running in a directory, and I simply want to move it to another directory, let's say. When I try that, of course without the node_modules folder, and try to run npm install; it gives this error:

npm ERR! Darwin 15.3.0
npm ERR! argv "/usr/local/bin/node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "install"

My package.json is as follows:

"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "an amazing description",

"scripts": {
"start": "node app.js"

"request": "^2.69.0",
"webpack": "^1.12.14"

}
I was able to npm install with your package.json by changing this line:
"express-react-views": "file:../../",
to
"express-react-views": "~0.10.0", //the current version at date of posting
