CodePudding user response：

You should first go to your project directory, in your case it is called anatha_1.

So, run cd anatha_1, then npm start.

npm start or any other npm script, looks for the package.json file in the current working directory.

It is also what is written by create-react-app at the end of its output, so please follow the guidelines.
