I have created a small project with Nodejs,

In my project, I have created App.js file and its main file to start the server.

When I run npm start command and I got an exception Error: missing script: start. Like this

    You can change the config script in package.json file:

    From:

    "scripts": {
    "compile:sass": "node-sass sass/main.scss  css/style.css -w"
 }

    to

    "scripts": {
    "compile:sass": "node-sass sass/main.scss  css/style.css -w",
    "start": "node App.js"
 }

    After then build code and run npm start again.

    You can try to run node App.js directly, no need to use npm start
