Hi @geoffrey1900, you don’t have the “install” script set up in your top-level package.json, as I mentioned in Have to reinstall subdirectory node modules every day, at least in the project you linked to. If you add that here it should start working.

so what and where do i exsatly put in

From here, you need this code (adjusted for your project’s layout, assuming I’m interpreting your needs correctly):

"install":"cd /app/b && pnpm install && cd /app"

After this line in your top-level package.json.

//  /app/pachage.json
{
  "name": "arras",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "main": "server.js",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node server"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "google-closure-library": "^20190121.0.0",
    "ws": "^6.1.4",
    "node-fetch": "^2.3.0",
    "fs": "^0.0.2",
    "path": "^0.12.7"
  },
  "engines": {
    "node": "10.x"
  },
  "license": "GPL-3.0",
  "install":"cd /app/b && pnpm install && cd /app"
}

// /app/b/package.json
{
   "name":"arras",
   "version":"1.0.0",
   "main":"b/server.js",
   "scripts":{
      "start":"node server"
   },
   "dependencies":{
      "google-closure-library":"^20190121.0.0",
      "ws":"^6.1.4",
      "node-fetch":"^2.3.0",
      "fs":"^0.0.2",
      "path":"^0.12.7"
   },
   "engines":{
      "node":"10.x"
   },
   "license":"GPL-3.0"
}

MOD EDIT: formatting

I believe you’ve got your install script in the wrong place. It needs to go after this line inside the scripts property.
