REACT npm start command

Question

I just created a react app by using the create-react-app command and I gave the app the name react-app. I followed these steps

cd into that directory using cd react-app/
running the npm start command

I ran into an error that says;

npm ERR! Missing scripts: start
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
C:\Users\user\Appdata\Roaming\npm-cache\_logs\2020-11-09T07_00_18_996z-debug.log

Edit: Here is the content of my package.json:

{
  "name": "react-app",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "react": "^17.0.1",
    "react-dom": "^17.0.1",
    "react-scripts": "4.0.0"
  }
}

Adding those scripts to my package.js worked but initiated another issue. Here is the snippet. Thanks folks enter image description here

You have to have these scripts at your package.json.

My package.json

"scripts": {
    "start": "react-scripts start",
    "build": "react-scripts build",
    "test": "react-scripts test",
    "eject": "react-scripts eject"
  }
