Why won't node.js work for me across any of my applications? ELIFECYCLE error

Every application I run gets the same error message: ELIFECYCLE
Here is my error message:
> pwd#1.0.0 start /Users/test/Desktop/test
> server.js
sh: server.js: command not found
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! syscall spawn
npm ERR! file sh

I threw up this super basic application to test whether it was happening across all of my projects. Clearly it is. Any ideas as to how to resolve?

In your package.json, I noticed your start script only has “server.js” in it. You might have to write
“start”: “node server.js”
As your start script in order for it to work

Your start script needs to indicate you want to run node, it's not implied, since technically you can run any command in there
"start": "node server.js"

Could you try editing your start script to be
node server.js
Or even just run this command on your terminal.
This is how you use node.js to create a runtime environment for your js file

I am new to this and having issue while runing the java script

run this in your terminal
alias firebase="`npm config get prefix`/bin/firebase"
or you just install firebase tool globally
npm install -g firebase-tools
either of them should do the trick,

Node js instalation error

My question is how can i prevent those errors and install node js and socket io correctly.

I suggest you install from NVM
after that. just do nvm install
to check. node -v inside your terminal

Install NodeJS from their website, then execute npm init within your project folder.
Afther that you can install dependencies from NPM.
Just read, what's on their websites under "getting started"...

I did npm init and this is my .json file
"name": "chat",
"version": "4.5.0",
"description": "IO",
"main": "app.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
"author": "Dan Vasii",
"license": "ISC",
"dependencies":
{
"socket.io" : "*",
"express" : "*"
}
}

Download the Windows installer from https://nodejs.org/en/ .
Run the installer (the .msi file you downloaded in the previous step.)
Follow the prompts in the installer (Accept the license agreement, click the NEXT button a bunch of times and accept the default installation settings).

Here is the solution for the above error.
Go to (nodejs) and Download NodeJs.
Install the NodeJs where you want in your PC
Now try to execute the command npm install
The error will be resolved. Any help needed please refer to this link

ReactJS + NodeJS: What is error "Pass --update-binary to reinstall or --build-from-source to recompile"?

I transferred a ReactJS + NodeJS project from another computer to a new computer. Then inside the folder, I did npm install in the terminal but getting the following response back.
> fsevents#1.0.14 install /Users/Joshua/Projects/practice_project/node_modules/fsevents
> node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build
[fsevents] Success: "/Users/Joshua/Projects/practice_project/node_modules/fsevents/lib/binding/Release/node-v46-darwin-x64/fse.node" already installed
Pass --update-binary to reinstall or --build-from-source to recompile
And on the previous computer, I ran the project via npm run server, but when I do it after npm run server in the project on the new computer, now I am getting:
> practice_project#1.0.0 serve /Users/Joshua/Projects/practice_project
> nodemon server/server.js --ignore components
sh: nodemon: command not found
npm ERR! Darwin 15.6.0
npm ERR! argv "/usr/local/bin/node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "run" "serve"

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall spawn
npm ERR! practice_project#1.0.0 serve: `nodemon server/server.js --ignore components`
npm ERR! spawn ENOENT
I looked around but can't seem to find the right solution. Tried npm install -g node-gyp but getting tar.unpack untar error.
What could be the issue? Will upvote and accept the answer. Thank you.

In this case, the first message you received is just telling you it's attempting to rebuild the fsevents package for your environment, then realized it already had it built, so stopped the process.
The second message is indicating that you are attempting to run nodemon but it isn't installed. I would hazard a guess that it was installed globally on your previous machine (and therefore not included in the project's package.json). If you want to install it globally again, you'll need to run npm i -g nodemon.

Ive tried clearing the node cache, updating node and havent had any luck, any ideas?

Seem to fix the issue when i uninstalled node and then reinstall using homebrew. P.s really good tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqMIyTH9wSg
