Getting this error when I am doing npm start

Question

I am totally new to this node.js!! How to overcome the following error . Tried all possible solutions given on net. And this error occurred after the environmental variables were changed. Please do help me to solve the problem. Thanks in advance.

C:\project\nodetest1>npm start

> nodetest1@0.0.0 start C:\project\nodetest1
> node ./bin/www

The package.json is

 {
  "name": "nodetest1",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
  "start": "node ./bin/www"
 },
  "dependencies": {
  "body-parser": "~1.8.1",
  "cookie-parser": "~1.3.3",
  "debug": "~2.0.0",
  "express": "~4.9.0",
  "express-session": "^1.9.3",
  "jade": "~1.6.0",
  "mongodb": "*",
  "mongoose": "^3.8.21",
  "monk": "*",
  "morgan": "~1.3.0",
  "nodemon": "*",
  "passport": "*",
  "passport-local": "*",
  "serve-favicon": "~2.1.3"
 }

}

It's still unclear what are you trying to do. Npm start just runs scripts at your package. And we don't know nothing about your package and envs were changed — rogaldh, Jan 05 '15 at 10:58

Can you post your NPM package.json file to identify the issue — satish, Jan 05 '15 at 11:06
example of start line : `"start": "node --harmony server.js"` — ceadreak, Jan 05 '15 at 11:30
@ceadreak What will happen if we do harmony app.js? Thankyou for your reply. — Kaushik Hs, Jan 05 '15 at 11:34
`harmony` is used to enabled all V8 harmony features (ES compatibility, etc). Maybe you don't need it in your case. `node --v8-options` to see all v8 options — ceadreak, Jan 05 '15 at 12:02

This error had also occurred to me also.This happens because of path variable in enviroment .Therefore just change unistall node.js and remove the path variable from system and also Npm and npm-cache from the AppData\Roaming\npm . And then install node it will work for sure
