If you build your app with create-react-app check if have these lines in your package.json in scripts section.

  "scripts": {
    "start": "react-scripts start",
    "build": "react-scripts build",
    "test": "react-scripts test",
    "eject": "react-scripts eject"
  },

Try npm run start instead

Check Your package.json file. In this file, You should see the scripts section. The correct scripts should be something like this.

  "scripts": {
    "start": "node scripts/start.js", // The way to your start.js script
    "build": "node scripts/build.js", // The way to your build.js script
    "test": "node scripts/test.js" // The way to your test.js script
  },
