npm start - missing script: start why?

Question

HTML

Installed node.js, less, gulp and gulp-less. The gulp less command works, compiles less to css. But npm start is not. Why?
Been stuck on this for a week now....

Answer 1

It is written - there is no start script.
In package.json , in the scripts section, there should be a switch/command that will be used via npm.

"scripts": {
    "start": "gulp",
},

Answer 2

The npm start command executes the script named start in the scripts section of package.json. If there is nothing there (or if there is an error), then here is the result.
