Hello,

In case you run pm2 start you need to make sure that you are in the same folder where your project is located at.

If you are still experiencing the problem, feel free to share the exact steps that you take and the exact commands that you run before you get the error.

Regards, Bobby

Use this instead pm2 start npm --name “app name” – start
