I just want to install socket.io to my project which is located on 3.chat folder. But when I run following command it shows following Warnings.And its not created a node_modules directory inside my project folder. How to fix this?
C:\Users\Nuwanst\Documents\NodeJS\3.chat>npm install socket.io
C:\Users\Nuwanst
`-- socket.io@2.0.3
npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users\Nuwanst\package.json'
npm WARN Nuwanst No description
npm WARN Nuwanst No repository field.
npm WARN Nuwanst No README data
npm WARN Nuwanst No license field.
If you already have package-lock.json file just delete it and try again.
Have you created a package.json file? Maybe run this command first again.
C:\Users\Nuwanst\Documents\NodeJS\3.chat>npm init
It creates a package.json file in your folder.
Then run,
C:\Users\Nuwanst\Documents\NodeJS\3.chat>npm install socket.io --save
The --save ensures your module is saved as a dependency in your package.json file.
Let me know if this works.
Make sure you are on the right directory where you have package.json
