Start script missing error when running npm start

I’m receiving this error when trying to debug my node application using the npm start command.

Error:

npm ERR! Windows_NT 6.3.9600
npm ERR! argv "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\\\node.exe" "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node_modules\\npm\\bin\\npm-cli.js" "start"
npm ERR! node v0.12.7

npm ERR! missing script: start
