Cannot build after npm start

I am brand new to node.js and I am trying to build my app so that I can deploy it.

Right after I do npm start I cannot do anything. Sorry if the question is too obvious, but I have never used node.js before.

enter image description here

Cmd says that I can build my app which is what I want but I cannot type anything. I have tried doing npm run build before doing npm start but I get an empty index.html.

These are my package.json's scripts: enter image description here

After running npm start your app is running continuously. So if you want to type a new command, you would have to stop it or open a new terminal window/tab and run that command there. Just make sure you are in the same path you want to be. In order to stop a running process (e.g. npm start) simply press ctrl + c (that is, ctrl first, keep it pressed and then press c) no matter if you are using mac or windows
