Looks like you forgot to create your package.json. Try npm init first.

You probably also don't want to do it in your home directory. You probably want to first create a directory for your project and run npm init from there.

I'm going to close this issue, but if you have further questions or difficulties, feel free to post an issue in the issue tracker designated for help questions: https://github.com/nodejs/help/issues This issue tracker is for node itself (bugs, feature requests, etc.) and not a general user help forum.

[Trott]

By the way, those are warnings only. The packages probably did install into the node_modules subdirectory in your current working directory.

How other people install ws and jx modules so flawlessly ?

what is wrong with my installation ?

[Trott]

If you use npm 2.x, you will not get any warnings.

However, the recent npm 3.x issues these warnings.

They are only warnings.

The package is successfully installing.

Any video showing the packages installing without warnings when there is no package.json file is probably using /npm 2 and not npm 3.

For that matter, it is also probably using Node 4 or earlier.

@ Trott : Thanks for Reply. I'll give it a try.
I watched the video : His npm version is 3.3.6

pause the video at https://youtu.be/7LsZ8z-wLbU?t=123

he is using npm@3.3.6.

i'll try both 3.3.6 and version 2 x

my npm version is
C:\Users\agario>npm -v
3.3.12

@Nueb I'd like to emphasis that you are missing the package.json file which is why these warnings are showing. It hasn't been said yet, so I'll say it;

You need to create a valid package.json file to "fix" these warnings.

Here is more information on this file: https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json

@ Trott >>. Amazing It worked. 💯
Thanks for your help and giving me your valueable time 🎱 :
If you like play agario sometimes.

and Finally I was able to run server file without any error massage

I used "npm-windows-upgrade" to install npm v 2 .

@tflanagan I'd try that too !! 👍
