How to start an appfog locomotive.js app?

Question

I'm using the node framework locomotive.js on an appfog instance. Installing this caused a slew of errors and I couldn't get the app to start. Reviewing the help materials and working with appfog support we were able to resolve that the issue had to do with the package.json file and specifically the invocation of lcm server.

What is correct package.json property?
