Why do 'npm run build' and 'npm run start' fail in my terminal?

I am encountering an issue where executing the commands ‘npm run build’ and ‘npm run start’ in my terminal does not work as expected. Interestingly, running the package installation process proceeds without any issues. This discrepancy has led me to wonder what may be causing these specific commands to fail while other npm operations continue to function normally. I would appreciate any insights or troubleshooting tips that could help diagnose and resolve the issue. Please share any advice or similar experiences that might shed light on this problem.

In my experience, failures with npm run build and npm run start often stem from subtle issues not immediately visible in your package files. I encountered something similar where my local Node.js version was slightly mismatched with what your dependencies expected. It was only after updating Node.js and double-checking that no typos existed in the script definitions did the commands function correctly. Verifying that no globally installed packages conflicted with your local ones also helped. Paying attention to these details can sometimes resolve issues that appear to be unrelated to package installation.

hey, maybe your package.json has misconfigured scripts or wrong enviroment settings. i fixed mine by checking dependency versions and script syntax. try reconfiguring the build/start commands or reinstalling, might help out.

hey, mine was due to a leftover config file messing up the scripts. a tiny typo in the environment var can also do it. double ck your file paths and node version, sometimes it’s a small mismatch. hope it helps!

After thorough debugging, I discovered that the problem in my project was not with the npm installation itself, but rather with discrepancies in the configuration files and environment variables. In my case, the build process depended on certain paths and settings which were not set correctly in some configuration files. I resolved the issues by cross-checking the environment configurations with the documented requirements and making sure that relative paths were correctly referenced. Although the installation succeeded, these small misconfigurations disrupted the subsequent build and start commands. Ensure that every environmental setting and file reference in your project is consistent with the expected parameters.
