npm install returns errors

Question

when I run npm install I get the following errors.

npm WARN enoent ENOENT, open '/Users/IBricchi/package.json'
npm WARN generator-steroids@1.0.21 requires a peer of yo@1.8.1 || >=1.8.3 but none was installed.
npm WARN grunt-contrib-clean@1.0.0 requires a peer of grunt@>= 0.4.5 but none was installed.

npm WARN IBricchi No description
npm WARN IBricchi No repository field.
npm WARN IBricchi No README data

I've tried looking for answers online, but everything I've tried has done nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like package.json was not found by npm in /Users/IBricchi/package.json . Probably you are running npm install from your home directory by mistake. You should run npm install from your project root directory.
