Error: yarn start - error Command "start" not found

Question

I am trying to learn React and I am using a private repo to start with it.

I run yarn start in the directory of the repo but I get the error message:

yarn run v1.13.0 error Command "start" not found. info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/run for documentation about this command. 

I have both node and yarn installed.

For node:

v10.15.0 node is /usr/local/bin/node 

For yarn:

1.13.0 yarn is /usr/local/bin/yarn 

I tried to reinstall both node and yarn but I get the same error message. moreover I tried to remove the yarn chance via yarn cache clean but nothing seems to work.

The package.json contains the following:

{   "name": "02-Manipulating-Strings",   "version": "1.0.0",   "author": "ssaunier",   "license": "UNLICENSED",   "private": true,   "devDependencies": {     "eslint": "^4.7.2",     "eslint-config-airbnb-base": "^12.0.0",     "eslint-plugin-import": "^2.7.0",     "jest": "^21.1.0"   },   "scripts": {     "test": "(eslint lib || true) && jest"   } } 

The directory is organised in the following way:

Answer 1

There is no start command inside the scripts of the package.json file.

"scripts": {   "start": "some command to be run", // you need to add this line   "test": "(eslint lib || true) && jest" } 

Maybe you want to run the test command instead - npm test / yarn test?
