Firstly, I suggest you to install following dependencies,

npm install --save firebase-functions
npm install -g firebase-tools 

If already installed then you can update it to latest one. Generally, functions-emulator comes with above dependency but still I would recommend you to update it,

npm install -g @google-cloud/functions-emulator

Once it has been updated, go to functions folder of you application and run following command,

firebase serve --only functions

I hope it helps!
