Managing Packages with NPM - How to Use package.json, the Core of Any Node.js Project or npm Package

Tell us what’s happening:

Hi there,
I’ve just stepped into backend, and in this step FreeCodeCamp is not accepting my solution — even though everything seems correct. The server is live and returning the right message. Not sure what’s wrong. Any help would be appreciated!

did you clone the given repo? your app is missing quite a few files

Ah, I didn’t clone the repo, I just created the project manually since I’m not very familiar with GitHub yet.

you will have to use that starting project

glitch can import a github repo

is this the repo you’re referring to:


How can I clone it and add my code? Also, can I bring it into the editor I’m using (Glitch)?

glitch can import a repo from github, you can use that feature


I tried cloning it, is it imported correctly now?

start the server and see what the tests say


i think it is working,

So now, should I just edit it and submit it?

now you can follow the challenge instructions

I don’t know how glitch is set up, you may need to restart the server manually, or it could restart automatically after changes

Thanks alot, it worked!

now you can continue! pay attention, at one point it will ask to use a different starting project, but until then you will continue working with this one
