Run a UI5 sample application from the documentation

I am stuck on running a sample application.

Steps I tried so far:

  1. Download the sample.
  2. Open in some editor (VScode)
  3. Run npm-install
  4. After referring some StackOverflow questions, I ran npm install --global @ui5/cli
  5. Then start the server with ui5 serve -o index.html

I got the following error message:

[npm translator] Failed to locate package.json for directory "F:\sap.m.sample.TableDnD"

What I found is there is no package.json file in this sample.

I tried a sample package.json from a running sample(Worklist app)from docs and made a change to name as of current project as:

{
  "name": "sap.m.sample.TableDnD", // It was Worklist in sample
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "author": "SAP SE",
  "description": "UI5 Demo App - sap.m.sample.TableDnD(Standalone)", // It was Worklist in sample
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "start": "ui5 serve",
    "lint": "eslint webapp",
    "build": "rimraf dist && ui5 build --a"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@openui5/sap.ui.core": "^1.60",
    "@openui5/sap.ui.layout": "^1.60",
    "@openui5/sap.m": "^1.60",
    "@openui5/sap.f": "^1.60",
    "@openui5/themelib_sap_belize": "^1.60"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@ui5/cli": "^1.0.0",
    "eslint": "^4.19.1",
    "rimraf": "^2.6.2"
  }
}

I tried running all the steps again then I got another error saying:

No specification version defined for root project sap.m.sample.TableDnD

Any help or guiding links would be helpful. Looking for a solution who can just try the sample app in link and run.

You need to run 

ui5 init

once in your project directory. It will create the missing ui5.yaml and then ui5 serve -o index.html should work.

This is more deeply explained in UI5 Tooling
