I'm new to Node so bear with me.
I have a Node server which requires ws
so I install it with:
$ npm install ws
/private/var/www/html/WebRTC/SVC
└─┬ ws@1.1.1
├── options@0.0.6
└── ultron@1.0.2
npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/private/var/www/html/WebRTC/SVC/package.json'
npm WARN SVC No description
npm WARN SVC No repository field.
npm WARN SVC No README data
npm WARN SVC No license field.
I then run the server using:
$ npm run server.js
npm ERR! Darwin 15.6.0
npm ERR! argv "/usr/local/Cellar/node/6.2.2/bin/node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "run" "server.js"
npm ERR! node v6.2.2
npm ERR! npm v3.9.5
npm ERR! path /private/var/www/html/WebRTC/SVC/package.json
npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! errno -2
npm ERR! syscall open
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/private/var/www/html/WebRTC/SVC/package.json'
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/private/var/www/html/WebRTC/SVC/package.json'
npm ERR! enoent This is most likely not a problem with npm itself
npm ERR! enoent and is related to npm not being able to find a file.
npm ERR! enoent
npm ERR! Please include the following file with any support request:
npm ERR! /private/var/www/html/WebRTC/SVC/npm-debug.log
but am getting errors mentioning no package.json
.
Looking through npm-debug.log
it seems pretty much the same.
Can someone shed some light on what enoent
is and what sort of package.json
file I need.
I was expecting this script to run out of the box so a little puzzled.

Just check if you are in the correct folder. For me, when I had the same error, I was not in the same directory as the package.json file. Hence, my npm was not able to find it.
Once i had changed the directory. the issue got solved.

npm error code ENOENT
npm error syscall lstat
npm error path C:\Users\yourUsername\AppData\Roaming\npm
npm error errno -4058
npm error enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat 'C:\Users\yourUsername\AppData\Roaming\npm'
npm error enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
npm error enoent
npm error A complete log of this run can be found in: C:\Users\yourUsername\AppData\Local\npm-cache\_logs\2024-07-09T10_24_04_497Z-debug-0.log
To Resolve the above error in vs code:
Firstly, check whether the folder having all the permissions or not if not
Right click on the folder > Properties > security > Allow all permissions and make sure to uncheck the read-only option in general.

Try this in cmd, it will work for sure! Navigate to this file.

When you type
npm run server.js
npm tries to find entry named server.js
in the scripts
section of your package.json
file (see npm docs on scripts for details).
package.json
, simplified, describes your app's dependencies and environment.
As you don't have such file, npm fails with ENOENT
, which is an abbreviation for Error NO ENTry
.
Basically, in your case, you just want to node server.js
to run your script.
