I am getting this error

λ npm start

That’s great, looks like it’s a problem with windows ./ path format Can you modify the package.json after you done with npm install to: "start":"nodemon src/app.js"

[rebosante]

This error happens because some windows terminals misunderstand single quotes, So there’s some parsing errors in node

You can easily detect it by errors like this

'npm is not recognized (...)

Showing a single quote before the command that is not recognized

In this case I used escaped double quotes instead of single ones in the scripts I used in package.json:

"scripts": {
    "start": "nodemon src/app.js --exec \"npm run lint && node\"",
    "lint": "eslint **/*.js"
  }

And it works now. Hope this helps…
