npm start needs something like this:

"scripts": {
        "start": "react-scripts start"

in the package.json file.

npm install <package-name> for specific packages or npm install should be executed when there are packages in package.json file like:

"dependencies": {
        "react": "^18.0.0",
        "react-dom": "^18.0.0"

npm init should create a package.json file in the current directory.

There could be several reasons why running npm commands is not producing any output in the terminal. Some possible solutions include:

Checking that Node.js and npm are properly installed by running the command node -v and npm -v respectively, to see if the current version is displayed.

Ensure that you are running the commands in the correct directory. npm commands need to be run inside the root directory of a project that has a package.json file.

Checking that you have the necessary permissions to run the command. Some commands, such as npm install, require administrative permissions.

checking npm cache by running npm cache verify or clearing npm cache with npm cache clean --force

If still not working, reinstalling node.js and npm can solve the issue

Try these solutions and let me know if you still face the issue, so that we can find more troubleshoot steps.
