npm ERR! missing script: setup

Question

How can I resolve this error(When i use npm run setup)?

npm ERR! missing script: setup

This is my scripts in my package.json:

"scripts": {
    "ng": "ng",
    "start": "ionic serve",
    "build": "ionic build",
    "build:prod": "NODE_ENV=production ionic build --prod",
    "build:test": "NODE_ENV=testing ionic build",
    "dev:android": "ionic cordova run android --livereload",
    "dev:ios": "ionic cordova run ios",
    "prod:android": "NODE_ENV=production ionic cordova run android --prod",
    "prod:ios": "NODE_ENV=production ionic cordova run ios --prod",
    "test": "NODE_ENV=testing gulp && jest --verbose",
    "test:ci": "NODE_ENV=testing gulp && jest -ci --runInBand --verbose",
    "test:watch": "NODE_ENV=testing gulp watch & jest --watch",
    "test:coverage": "NODE_ENV=testing gulp && jest --coverage",
    "lint": "NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096 ng lint",
    "ionic:serve:before": "gulp",
    "ionic:serve": "./scripts/serve.sh",
    "ionic:build:before": "gulp"
  }

My nvm version is: 0.38.0
My npm version is: 6.7.0
My node version is: v11.15.0
My system is macBook

Edit: This is the setup documentaion that I'm following

It indicates that there is no script named `setup` in your `package.json` file — omidh, Sep 01 '21 at 06:34
Who's calling the script `setup`? If you really need it, just add it. — jabaa, Sep 01 '21 at 06:34
Why do you need this script? Who's calling it and why? What's the expected behavior of this script? You could add an empty script like `"setup": "echo setup"` — jabaa, Sep 01 '21 at 06:39

A script named setup does not exist in package.json for the latest release of moodleapp (v3.9.5).

However, version v3.9.4 of moodleapp does include the following setup script in package.json:

...
"scripts": {
  ...
  "setup": "npm install && npx cordova prepare && npx gulp".
  ...
},
...

Perhaps the Setup the environment section of the docs is outdated.

Use version 3.9.4 of moodleapp instead.

I think your script is not serve but ionic:serve; So try running npm run ionic:serve
