How to run node js app from github repository?

Question

I'm clone github repo https://github.com/k3rn31p4nic/google-translate-api using "git clone https://github.com/k3rn31p4nic/google-translate-api " after I go to that directory and write in terminal npm install"npm start" and get

npm start

@k3rn31p4nic/google-translate-api@1.1.0 start D:\\Github\\google-translate-api-master\\google-translate-api

node .

What is wrong? I tried npm install --save @k3rn31p4nic/google-translate-api as said in Readme but its also didn't work. This is my first attempt to use Github apps on my machine and its going not well.

Answer 1

just do npm install and use the library as mentioned in the Readme.

// If you've installed from GitHub, do:
const translate = require('google-translate-api');

There is nothing to execute as such so npm start wouldn't work.
