Empty NPM File

[saedarm]

I start by cloning a web-dev-starter repo into a directory:

git clone https://github.com/pluralsight/web-dev-starter.git

I do npm install

Now when I clone repo, the Script.js file is empty

So maybe that's where the problem lies.

I've tried running npm install --save-dev lite-server to make sure node modules contain this

however, when I run "NPM Run Start" I see How do you want to open this file:

and then if I choose visual studio to open file

it opens C:\windows\system32\npm (a file with no extension)

Empty file:

what do I do here?
