npm install lite-server --save-dev installation error

Question

I am trying to use node for the first time,installed node.js below is the information

node -v
v14.4.0
npm -v
6.14.5

Completed the setup by creating a package.json file, then tried to install lite-server using the command npm install lite-server --save-dev produced the folllowing error:

npm WARN deprecated chokidar@2.1.8: Chokidar 2 will break on node v14+. Upgrade to chokidar 3 with 15x less dependencies.
npm ERR! cb() never called!

npm ERR! This is an error with npm itself. Please report this error at:

Followed by npm cache clean --force

Here is the package.json file

{
  "name": "git-test",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "\"This is a test directory to learn git and node\"",
  "main": "index.html",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "npm run lite",
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
    "lite": "lite-server"
  },
  "repository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "git+https://github.com/apoorva0212/git-test.git"
  },
  "author": "\"Apoorva Ojha\"",

    "url": "https://github.com/apoorva0212/git-test/issues"
  },
  "homepage": "https://github.com/apoorva0212/git-test#readme"
}

But still I get the same error. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you, in advance.

Answer 1

you are missing the dependency on lite-server

try to install lite-server dependency

npm install lite-server --save-dev

then invoke npm run lite
