12.16 -> so these are the files that i have over here my main.js file is the file where i have my normal

16.8 -> code okay connection schema and all this app.post okay and these are the default files we'll be

22.4 -> getting package lock json and package.json so the first thing what you do is you need to check

27.12 -> whether you are inside the right folder itself so currently nmp is my folder and within this folder

32.64 -> i'm having my js files dot json files and as well as node modules so you need to check whether you

38.88 -> are in that particular folder in your terminal as well so here i am perfectly in this folder

43.12 -> but you need to check for you so after checking that you need to go inside your package.json file

48.72 -> okay so if you aren't having this package.json file you need to type npm init in your terminal

54.8 -> okay you will be getting this file so once you are inside this file you will be having like

109.84 -> okay so after doing this important thing save it okay otherwise it won't work so saving it control

115.44 -> s so now we are good to go so now if i just go to the same terminal if I just put npm start

124.8 -> so as you can see here now it is trying to start and i think we'll be getting on some port i

130.24 -> guess so let me just scroll down yeah it's three thousand five and we need to get three thousand

135.36 -> five yeah here you can see i'm getting on port 3005 which means that my node server is working
