how to start azure nodejs app locally

I have a node.js with express azure project that I created through visual studio 2015 and it published on Azure with no problem running from vs with no issue as well. When I try to run it through the npm command line I got an error that it can't start! I wonder if there's a configuration or any command arguments to be added to make npm able to run it.

The error

npm ERR! Windows_NT 6.3.9600
npm ERR! argv "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe" "C:\\Users\\Administrator\\A
ppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\npm\\bin\\npm-cli.js" "start"
npm ERR! node v7.0.0
npm ERR! npm  v4.2.0

npm ERR! missing script: start

npm start defaults to node server.js if start script not defined in package.json

doc : https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/scripts#default-values

If your main file is not called server.js, try running node yourmain.js or adding a start entry in your package.json with "scripts": { "start": "node yourmain.js" }
