Quick Fix: Ensure you are in the correct directory by navigating using cd command. Verify if the scripts in package.json are correct.

The Solutions:

Solution 1: Check the Directory

Ensure you are in the correct directory. This error often occurs when you’re not in the designated directory. Try using cd to navigate to the correct directory.

Solution 2: Ensure the Correct Node/NPM Version and Project Root Location

Navigating to the root directory of your project and verifying that you are using the appropriate versions of Node and NPM can resolve this issue. To ensure accuracy, consider using a node version manager to easily switch between versions.

Q&A

Could you make a quick consideration please?

Try to check your scripts into the package.json

Is there any other way around this that does not require me to check the package.json?

Try going in the root of your entire project.
