npm install doesnt create the node_modules folder

Question

I've been trying to make a canvas project on discord.js but I can't npm install to work properly it just installs it to my appdata folder. I'd be happy if you could help me figure it out

Answer 1

Have you done npm init yet?

If not here are the steps to follow:

1- Open a terminal/command window in the directory you want to store the file in it 2- Run npm init 3- Fill in the project data? 4- Run npm install [PACKAGE_NAME]

Answer 2

You need to execute npm init -y in your project folder which then creates the necessary files for installing modules.
