Why I'm not able to run my Application server using "npm start" command and getting the error message related to start script.I am using Ubuntu OS

I am making a PERN stack(PostgreSQL, Express,React.JS,Node.JS) application. I downloaded the file from github repo, opened it in VS code and tried to run the server using the following command.
Command:
npm start

But I am getting this error message
Error:
Missing script: "start"
And when I saw the list of scripts using the command of "npm run"
I got this error message
Error:
echo "Error: no test specified" && exit 1

Here is the screenshot of the error

    In your case the command to start the server is:

    node index

    or

    node index.js

    Before this install node modules via:

    npm install

    It will be good if you send Packege.json file Screen shot because script is mention there.

    you try npm run start
    Make sure first try npm init
    npm install
    node index.js
