npm run start, Failed at the start script

This is my first time using nodejs, I am getting the following error while running npm run start command. Is there a version compatibility issue between node and npm? I can see that the end lines suggesting this is not an issue with npm.

As @ndenasie said, nodemon isn't installed. Try running npm install -g nodemon then npm run start and it should work.
