javascript – Start script missing error when running npm start
javascript – Start script missing error when running npm start
It looks like you might not have defined a start script in your package.json file or your project does not contain a server.js file.
If there is a server.js file in the root of your package, then npm will default the start command to node server.js.
https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/scripts#default-values
You could either change the name of your application script to server.js or add the following to your package.json
scripts: {
start: node your-script.js
}
Or … you could just run node your-script.js directly
This error also happens if you added a second script key in the package.json file. If you just leave one script key in the package.json the error disappears.

I had this issue while installing react-js for the first time :
These line helped me solve the issue:
npm rm -g create-react-app
npm install -g create-react-app
npx create-react-app my-app
