Error running "npm run Prod" command in Git Bash to build an Ionic 2 project

Question

I have a publication ready project, which was created with Ionic 2 using Google’s Firebase API, but when I try to build the project for production, with the following command in Git Bash: "npm run Prod", an error is displayed in which I could not identify. Follow the error below:

$ npm run prod

Answer 1

Try to rotate npm run production instead of npm run prod.

This can be the version of Node.js... Update the version with the command: npm update -g.
