Error: angular application starting problem

Question

I have a problem during my angular application boot phase:

In my docker based on node:11.10.1 version during the starting phase with the following package.json file, the application fails to start:

{
  "name": "myapplication",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "scripts": {
    "ng": "ng",

}

Here the error:

What is the right sequence to start the application? In my Dockerfile I put the following steps:

RUN npm install 
RUN npm audit fix --force
RUN npm start

Thanks for helping.

Hi just do an update of your packages with the following:

ng update @angular/cli @angular/core
