I installed node js v13.14.0 on my machine but when I am trying to hit node -version it gives me an error saying node: bad option: -version whereas it works for npm -v and node -v. Also, complete command npm -version works.

And I am not able to start npm with npm start command. Can somebody plz help?

Use node --version.

npm start is actually performing task(s) defined in a package.json within your project. Usually you will get an error if you run npm start in a directory without a package.json. In case other errors occur, npm usually gives a detailed output of what went wrong.

Now I am getting something like this on starting npm @chilyiskult . node --version is working perfectly.
D:\React>npm start npm ERR! code ENOENT npm ERR! syscall open npm ERR! path D:\React\package.json npm ERR! errno -4058 npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'D:\React\package.json' npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file. npm ERR! enoent npm ERR!

This is exactly what I referred to in my answer. There is no package.json in your D:\React folder.
