How to run app js in nodejs

0 votes

I am very new to Node.js and I tried to run a project (made by other developer) by having a command in terminal node app.js. But I encountered below error, do anyone have idea how to run this project?

Error logs below:

Junryls-Mac-mini:app Niroj$ node app.js

/Users/Niroj/Desktop/myfolder/mysubfolder/app/app.js:1

Hello @kartik,

Assuming I have node and npm properly installed on the machine, I would

  • Download the code
  • Navigate to inside the project folder on terminal, where I would hopefully see a package.json file
  • Do an npm install for installing all the project dependencies
  • Do an npm install -g nodemon for installing all the project dependencies
  • Then npm start OR node app.js OR nodemon app.js to get the app running on local host

Hope this helps!!

Thank you!!
