Question installing Electron.io

I am trying to install electron.io for desktop applications on using a mac. I have been following the below video but I get lost at 4:08

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKzBJAowmGg&t=192s

I get the following error in the terminal after typing "npm start":

npm ERR! Darwin 16.0.0 npm ERR! argv "/usr/local/Cellar/node/7.8.0/bin/node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "start" npm ERR! node v7.8.0 npm ERR! npm v4.2.0

npm ERR! missing script: start npm ERR! npm ERR! If you need help, you may report this error at: npm ERR! https://github.com/npm/npm/issues

npm ERR! Please include the following file with any support request: npm ERR! /Users/petergess/.npm/_logs/2017-04-03T00_59_44_038Z-debug.log

Why is this happening? Do I have an issue where I saved my files I created to the wrong directory or folder is that why it can't be found?
