npm ERR! syscall open

npm ERR! path /Users/kratichoudhary/package.json

npm ERR! errno -2

npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/kratichoudhary/package.json'

Usually this issue happens whenever you try to npm start in the wrong directory. Make sure your terminal is pointing to the same directory where your package.json file is and then run the command.
