  • does `C:\Users\Staff Member\Desktop\React\react\package.json` exist? I assume not, because that's what the error is telling you. Your question has no context. What are you trying to do? Why do you expect there to be a start script? Are you creating a package or did you download an existing one? – Christian Fritz Sep 02 '20 at 03:46

Open your CLI, and in the root folder of your directory run

npm init --yes

This will automatically create a package.json and insert default values that are taken from your current project
