i was wondering how to boot up the game after making the first installation because using npm start always brings up the same error

is there any other way of starting the game other than the one mentioned at the “getting started” part of the guide?

sorry if the question is a bit dumb im just getting started with programming :\<

I am not sure, maybe open PowerShell again with the folder INSIDE the folder? I think it has to be narrat\_try.

Your terminal is probably in the wrong folder, if it can’t find `package.json`. Is that `narrat_try` folder definitely the right folder that has the game you created with `create_narrat` and has `package.json` and all the other files in it?

Also might help to see the commands you typed and in which folder you were if not
