Change the path where you run the ng serve command and try. It should run inside Angular project where you see src folder

I think you are in the wrong directory, and this isn't being registered as an angular project. You should navigate inside the directory that has the following files

angular.json

This will be your application root folder. Once you navigate here run npm install and then npm start /ng serve

Something like this. I'll navigate inside primeng-testing to run these above mentioned commands.

If you can share your folder directory , that will be great to identify the issue – amnah Aug 18 '21 at 13:57
C:\angular\pro\toitsu-view\src\app – Konstantinos K. Aug 18 '21 at 14:52
So, you have node_modules and angular.json file inside C:\angular\pro\toitsu-view\src\app? or inside C:\angular\pro\toitsu-view? – amnah Aug 18 '21 at 14:59
