NPM ELIFECYCLE error - using node server.js command

Question

I am deploying test-bot on ibm watson as described here https://github.com/eciggaar/text-bot and when I am trying to deploy code locally using CLI foundry it is getting the following errors.

I am using Nodejs version 6.10.3 and npm version 5.0.4

can someone please help me with this.

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR! errno 1 npm ERR! [email protected] start: `node server.js` npm ERR! Exit status 1 npm ERR! npm ERR! Failed at the [email protected] start script. npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.  npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in: npm ERR!

Sometimes, when you already started your web server, the ELIFECYCLE error comes if you try to run the npm command again on another terminal (cmd). Make sure that you don't have any other instance running up in the same port.

Try to clean your cache with: npm cache clean with Administrator/root and delete your node_modules, after this steps, try to install your packages again with npm install --save
