Hi Bridget Tompkin (Galliford Try), thanks for raising your issue. Could you please provide more details on your issues such as the documentation followed, or sample set up for which you are encountering this error?
I am using visual strudio code.
I downloaded node.js
in visula studio - got Teams Tool kit / selected to create a sample app and clicked F5 debug.

Bridget Tompkin (Galliford Try), we are unable to repro this issue at our end. According to the error message provided it seems like the package.json file is missing or not located in the expected directory. This file is essential for Node.js projects as it contains metadata about the project and its dependencies.
So is that an issue with the Node.JS download/instalation?
That could be the reason. Please ensure that your project structure is correct and that the package.json file is in the root directory where the Teams Toolkit expects it to be.
