## Start a package
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Synopsis
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
npm start [-- <args>]
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Description
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This runs an arbitrary command specified in the package's `"start"` property of
|
||
|
|
its `"scripts"` object. If no `"start"` property is specified on the
|
||
|
|
`"scripts"` object, it will run `node server.js`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As of [`npm@2.0.0`](https://blog.npmjs.org/post/98131109725/npm-2-0-0), you can
|
||
|
|
use custom arguments when executing scripts. Refer to [`npm run-script`](/cli-commands/npm-run-script) for more details.
