icant figure out why my localhost is not running

Question

ive been trying to start my localhost with the npm run dev command which is included in my scripts in package.json file.

it was was working fine before with node v17 npm v8.4, due to so many breaking changes i decided to uninstall v17 and installed v16 coupled with my npm v8.4. the project i was hoping to run by doing this is working fine but my old project is just compiling.

ive deleted the project files and cloned it from github again but the issue persists.

here is what am getting:

    $ npm run dev

> dev
> node index.js
