无法在创建的文件夹中安装npm软件包-Ubuntu

Question

The system I am using is Ubuntu 17. I cloned a repository from github in the bundler-app folder. I created a folder packages in it using mkdir packages/myfolder . Now, I go to the myfolder folder and do yarn add react react-dom and the install happens. Everything seems to go smoothly and yet when I go to the myfolder folder and see what's in there... it's empty.

There's nothing in it.

So, where did the yarn/npm packages go?

Answer 1

Does one of the parent folders of myfolder contains a package.json , if so yarn adds the package there.

If you need different behaviour to install under the current folder, even if a parent folder has package.json , you will have to make sure current folder has a package.json , which can be done via yarn init .

So in your case you can try

yarn init then yarn add react react-dom inside the folder and you will find the package in the folder
