npm run devs fails on a clean install - node.js

Question

I'm following a course and when I run npm run dev on the code I just downloaded (and that works in the video) I get this error. I've reinstalled node and npm, deleted node_modules folder and packale-lock.json and ran npm install again, doesnt work.
Here's the output
$ npm run dev
> twittor-server-client#1.0.0 dev C:\Users\Administrador\Desktop\PWA\10-twittor-offline-posting
> ./node_modules/nodemon/bin/nodemon.js server/server

And the package.json:
{
"name": "twittor-server-client",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
"start": "node server/server.js",
"dev": "./node_modules/nodemon/bin/nodemon.js server/server"
},
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"dependencies": {
"express": "^4.16.3"
},
"devDependencies": {
"nodemon": "^1.18.4",
"webpack-dev-server": "^3.10.3"
}
}
Says in the output that the "." in front of the dev script path is not recognized but this is all auto-generated...

I guess, npm cache clean && rm -rf node_modules && npm i should work.
But since you already have nodemon in your dev dependencies. Try
replacing the dev script with "nodemon server/server.js" – Rahul

This command worked for me:
{
"name": "twittor-server-client",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
"start": "node server/server.js",
"dev": "nodemon server/server.js"
},
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"dependencies": {
"body-parser": "^1.18.3",
"express": "^4.16.3"
},
"devDependencies": {
"nodemon": "^1.18.4"
}
}
Hope it can help you #Julian
