The json file required to run dev is missing. To get the package.json file you can run 

npm init

But this by default will create the script for "test". In your case, as you are trying to run "dev", you'll have to make changes to  package.json file.

This utility will walk you through creating a package.json file.
It only covers the most common items, and tries to guess sensible defaults.

See `npm help json` for definitive documentation on these fields
and exactly what they do.

Use `npm install <pkg> --save` afterwards to install a package and
save it as a dependency in the package.json file.

Press ^C at any time to quit.

Hey there! 

You need to enter the details to create the package.json file. Field to fill are:

name:
version: 
description: 
entry point: 
test command: 
git repository: 
keywords: 
author: 
license:  

You can leave the irrelevant fields blank. Then you'll be asked a confirmation for the data you have entered. Hit Enter and your  package.json file will be created.
