我执行npm安装时未显示package.json grunt依赖模块

Question

I have created a package.json file with grunt dependencies I do my npm install but the grunt modules do not show up in my website hierarchy all I get is a bunch of warn in the terminal about different plugins that I didn't want. Also I am defiantly pointing to the right folder but it says they folder don't exist

Answer 1

npm tells you that there is no package.json file in your directory then it can install anything.

I recommend you to follow these step :
1. run npm init to create a valid package.json file with needed information
2. Install and save your npm modules in your package.json file with --save argument. ( Eg : npm install grunt-contrib-cssmin --save )
