Can you help with script ? – Gabrielle Aug 08 '20 at 15:03
Please provide more details to get help in the script. Or perhaps start another question – Majed Badawi Aug 08 '20 at 15:06
why not `npm run start`? – MoloF Aug 08 '20 at 15:24

@MoloF it's the same. Check this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51358235/difference-between-npm-start-and-npm-run-start – Majed Badawi Aug 08 '20 at 15:25

As this is a node project your start should look like this:

"scripts": {
  "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
  "start": "node client/js/index.js"
}

you can then run

npm start
