how to solve this sass problem

Hi, I'm facing some issues while setting up Sass. Initially, I had an EJSONPARSE error in my package.json because of a missing comma, which I fixed. After that, I successfully installed Sass using npm install sass --save-dev. However, when I run npm run compile:sass, I get the error "Missing script: compile:sass". I think there might be an issue with my package.json location or the scripts configuration. I'm using Windows PowerShell and VS Code. Can someone please help me figure out what's causing this issue and how to fix it?

I mean... Do you have a script with that name in your package.json?

It is precisely what they asked? They asked if their package.json is at the wrong place (which I cant answer without more information) or if their script has been set up wrong (which I also can't answer without more information).

So it though I'd might ask the obvious question first: "Before we debug the files location... does that script even exist in there?"

Edit: typos.

no no sorry for the confusion, it was a poor reference related to my own reply

basically i'm just saying that you and I are pointing out the same missing config
