Nodemon not working

Nodemon not working when typed into the terminal even after installing it with npm install-g nodemon. Below is what my package.json file look like

{ "name": "flashcards", "version": "1.0.0", "description": "A flashcard app", "main": "app.js", "scripts": { "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1" }, "author": "Sam", "license": "MIT", "dependencies": { "express": "^4.15.2" } }

What is the full command you are specifying? Typically you would pass in a command like so: nodemon ./server.js localhost 8080 which tells nodemon which script to load, and which host/port to use. Are you getting any errors?

Thanks, I already solved the problem by searching for a similar issue on Stack Overflow.
