"my desktop doesnot have npm"

Probably you do not have Node.js either.

Well, to start with, install Node.js first. You will need Node.js to run JavaScript on your desktop.

Windows:

Download .msi installer from here https://nodejs.org/en/download/

Debian/Ubuntu: 

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

For any other OS, the steps are explained here https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/

If you follow the above procedures, npm (Node Package Manager) is also automatically installed on your system.

Now if you run node -v you will see the installed Node.js version.

Similarly npm -v shows your current npm version.

After this, you can go to your project folder and run npm install.

npm install inside a folder will scan through package.json and install all dependencies locally.

Refer your package.json "scripts",

  "scripts": {
    "start": "NODE_ENV=development webpack-dev-server --inline --content-base"
     ...
   }

If you have something like this, then run npm run start to start your App.
