Hey @MihirRajChowdhury , the name-suggestion-index project is mostly a collection of json files, so there isn’t really much to run. Most people just edit the json files directly on GitHub, or you can edit them locally and npm run build the project to check them for correctness.. What sort of contribution were you looking to do?

The project wiki has a bunch of information too about what the project is and what the files do:

I suggest following this guide: https://www.dataschool.io/how-to-contribute-on-github/

I just used it with no problem, you also did need to npm install or run anything, just editing json is enough
