Something is wrong with package.json

I am following this instructions to start with electron. However I faced problems to run the program via command npm start.

I changed the paths accordingly. Here are the files:

main.js

const {app, BrowserWindow} = require('electron')
const path = require('path')
const url = require('url')

// Keep a global reference of the window object, if you don't, the window will
// be closed automatically when the JavaScript object is garbage collected.
let win

function createWindow () {
  // Create the browser window.
  win = new BrowserWindow({width: 800, height: 600})

  // and load the index.html of the app.
  win.loadURL(url.format({
    pathname: path.join(__dirname, 'index.html'),
    protocol: 'file:',
    slashes: true
  }))

  // Open the DevTools.
  win.webContents.openDevTools()

  // Emitted when the window is closed.
  win.on('closed', () => {
    // Dereference the window object, usually you would store windows
    // in an array if your app supports multi windows, this is the time
    // when you should delete the corresponding element.
    win = null
  })
}

// This method will be called when Electron has finished
// initialization and is ready to create browser windows.
// Some APIs can only be used after this event occurs.
app.on('ready', createWindow)

// Quit when all windows are closed.
app.on('window-all-closed', () => {
  // On macOS it is common for applications and their menu bar
  // to stay active until the user quits explicitly with Cmd + Q
  if (process.platform !== 'darwin') {
    app.quit()
  }
})

app.on('activate', () => {
  // On macOS it's common to re-create a window in the app when the
  // dock icon is clicked and there are no other windows open.
  if (win === null) {
    createWindow()
  }
})

// In this file you can include the rest of your app's specific main process
// code. You can also put them in separate files and require them here.

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Hello World!</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Hello World!</h1>
    We are using node <script>document.write(process.versions.node)</script>,
    Chrome <script>document.write(process.versions.chrome)</script>,
    and Electron <script>document.write(process.versions.electron)</script>.
  </body>
</html>

package.json

{
  "name": "app3",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "ss",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "../../node_modules/.bin/electron ."
  },
  "author": "r",
  "license": "ISC",
  "devDependencies": {
    "electron-prebuilt": "^1.2.7"
  }
}

Here are the absolute paths of

project-dir: C:\Users\lhmmar1\git\js\electron\test\

modules: C:\Users\lhmmar1\git\js\node_modules\

It is strange to me that when I run:C:\Users\lhmmar1\git\js\node_modules\.bin>electron ..\..\electron\test\main the program works fine. But when I run C:\Users\lhmmar1\git\js\electron\test>npm start it reports this:

I have seen it working via second command, although I am obviously mistaking somewhere.

Is it possible to run the package script via npm command? If yes where am I wrong?
