how to run program when the start script is missing-CodePudding

When I am trying to run my code using npm start I am getting this error -

npm start -

npm ERR! Missing script: "start"

npm ERR!

npm ERR! Did you mean one of these?

npm ERR! npm star # Mark your favorite packages

npm ERR! npm stars # View packages marked as favorites

npm ERR! npm ERR! To see a list of scripts, run:

npm ERR! npm run

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:

Hi you need to define the start script in the package.json file. For example here in this node project package.json (remove the comment to use the json):

{
  "name": "node-starter",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
    "start": "node index.js" // <-- start script here to start a node program
  }
}

You can use like node entry.js
