Your best bet for troubleshooting something like this is probably the Contributors chat room.

What is the output of node --version on your machine?

7

The node version is v6.11.2

8

The Mongo version is v4.0.6

9

Your version of node is extremely out of date. You need to upgrade to version 11.

Ohhh, My bad I forgot about the version support.

Everything was working as said by @WebDevCoach. After i ran the command npm run develop, i couldn’t open it on localhost:8000. I don’t know what’s the issue with it.

Is this an Issue because I’m using Mongo version 4.0? @camperextraordinaire

I have no problems running FCC on MongoDB 4.0.3. Did you make sure to copy sample.env to .env? I’d recommend a fresh checkout of FCC after upgrading node, or at least blowing away node_modules and bootstrapping again.

@sumer16 as mentioned please setup the pre-requisite as per the documentation. Without conforming to it, makes it really difficult and futile to attempt debugging your specific issues.

Let us know if you are stuck.
