You made sure you are in the correct directory? (I did this today also and forgot to go into the game directory before using npm install, and I need more sleep 😃 I’m also following your screenshot when making these suggestions) - `npm create narrat@latest` - `cd [game name folder]` - `npm install` - `npm start` ---

In your screenshot you’re not in the game’s folder though. The npm create narrat script creates its own folder, so after running it you need to get into the folder it created. Which means you should run create narrat from within your projects folder, and then go in what it creates, rather than you creating the folder and then running the command in it ---
