Reactjs - npm start not opening in browser - reactjs

I am following this tutorial to learn React. All is going smoothly until I run 'npm start', then I recieve this error message:
npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall open
npm ERR! path C:\Users\hwrobo\OneDrive\Desktop\Coursework\Week 13\reactTutorial/package.json
npm ERR! errno -4058
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users\hwrobo\OneDrive\Desktop\Coursework\Week 13\reactTutorial\package.json'
npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
npm ERR! enoent
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\npm-cache_logs\2021-09-08T13_49_13_202Z-debug.log
I'm not entirely sure what it means. Is it not able to find my folder?


This question may be helpful. npm install resulting in 'ENOENT: no such file or directory'
Seems like your problem could reside where you are running your npm install . You want to make sure your running the command in the same directory as the package.json file. Which is usually at the root of the project.

Getting this error while running npm start in terminal vs code

This error is likely due to a missing package.json file at your current directory. To create a new package.json in this directory, you can use npm init. It will prompt you for some metadata and automatically generate your package.json file.
I assume you are looking to run something similar to create-react-app based on the attempt to run the start script and the directory being named react-website-v1. In order to initialize a CRA site, the official documentation lists the commands for doing so as follows:
npx create-react-app my-app
cd my-app
npm start

Error occurred while starting the npm server in the react project

At first everything was running quite well but since I reset my laptop (I restored my files by coping the project files from the hard drive to the same folder) and when I tried npm start for the same react project it shows me an error.
npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall open
npm ERR! path C:\projects\react projects\tutorials\project-1\package.json

even my package.json file is inside the project itself but still I am facing this error
Any help would be appreciated

I have started in react but when I am typing npm start it gives these set of error mesaages

npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall open
npm ERR! path C:\Users\tarun\package.json
npm ERR! errno -4058
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users\tarun\package.json'

As is apparent from the error message, npm cannot find a package.json file in your current directory (which is C:\Users\tarun).
Most probably you are not running the command from the correct directory.

You need to run the command inside the directory of package.json file.

Open your CLI, and in the root folder of your directory run
npm init --yes
This will automatically create a package.json and insert default values that are taken from your current project
