Truffle migrate network error

Question

When I run truffle migrate command, I am getting the following error:

Error: No network specified. Cannot determine current network.

I have compiled with no error. I don't understand why I am getting the error.

When you are running truffle on a local network, you need to specify the network configuration. You have to set the configuration in the truffle.js file. And it should look something like this:

module.exports = { networks: { development: { host: "localhost", port: 8545, network_id: "*" // Match any network id } } };
