sorry for my bad english but i need help
As OP didn't provide details of the issue and seems to be new to nodejs, hereby explaining how npm i work in general matter.
There are main usage of npm i:
To install a package that haven't install in this project(or global) before, you can put that package name after the npm i , such as npm i express. Once the installation is done, it will insert the package name into package.json and the package source code in node_modules. You can think package.json is like a index and node_modules is the actual packages source code.
To install a package that listed in package.json. If you are copying/clone the project from other source , usually it has package.json but not the node_modules. In that case, you can use npm i to install all the packages that listed in package.json and it will then create the node_modules.
Using npm i without package.json will not install anything as there isn't a package name in the npm i [package name] and package.json .
I want to install the bcrypt package and im using the "npm install bcrypt --python=python2" and i can this after i run it:

I don't get any module in atom.
This is an error that tells you that current folder you are working in does not have a node project set up, its missing the necessary package.json file (every node project has one and needs one).
There are 2 types of "install" with npm, first is global that that you mark with -g flag (npm install bcrypt -g), this will install whatever package into global node modules that can be executed from the node command line, the second one is installing / adding it to your project.
In order to add anything to your project you need to create your project, create a folder for your project, open cmd line and navigate to the folder, and run npm init, this will create a package.json file (after you answer few questions), then npm install whatever will add the package automatically to the package.json file. (there is also a --save-dev flag that adds node module to dev dependencies)
I have installed mean.io and ran sudo npm install. Actually following commands in sequence
sudo npm install -g meanio
mean init yourNewApp
cd yourNewApp
sudo npm install -g bower
sudo npm install
It is supposed to download and install angularjs libraries into public/system/lib. After doing the above steps public /system/lib is not created due to which when I start the application I get the error
events.js:72
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^
Error: ENOENT, open '/home/santhosh/dev/scaleqa/mean_tut/old mean/temp/myapp/public/system/lib/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css'
[nodemon] app crashed - waiting for file changes before starting...
Is it something to do with certain npm/angularjs server being down. I have faced this problem earlier also but got fixed on 2nd try and I didn't bother to do more research. This became a big issue when I try to pull my repo into cloud and start the application. public/system/lib is added in .gitignore by default and is expected to be created during npm install.
I get following warnings with sudo npm install
npm WARN package.json mean-connect-mongo#0.4.3 No repository field.
npm WARN cannot run in wd mean#0.3.3 node node_modules/bower/bin/bower install (wd=/home/santhosh/dev/scaleqa/mean_tut/old mean/temp/myapp)
this is link to package.json
The problem maybe related to running npm install as sudo, which can cause problems. As mentioned in another stack overflow question, this can be worked around in a couple ways. But because it looks like this is being run from your home directory, you really shouldn't need to run npm install as root.
Try to issue the same commands, but the last without sudo:
sudo npm install -g meanio
mean init yourNewApp
cd yourNewApp
sudo npm install -g bower
npm install
Note that the reason you may need to run npm install -g <package> using sudo is because by default npm uses /usr/local for global installs, which can be a restricted directory. However, when you install a package locally (without the -g flag) you should not need to run as root.
I am trying to install node in my mac..

Running just "npm install" will look for dependencies listed in your package.json. The error you're getting says that you don't have a package.json file set up (or you're in the wrong directory).
If you're trying to install a specific package, you should use 'npm install {package name}'. See here for more info about the command.
Otherwise, you'll need to create a package.json file for your dependencies or go to the right directory and then run 'npm install'.
I had this problem when trying to run 'npm install' in a Terminal window which had been opened before installing Node.js.
Opening a new Terminal window (i.e. bash session) worked. (Presumably this provided the correct environment variables for npm to run correctly.)
In my case it was due to a bad URL (http:// instead of git://, no .git at the end) for one of the dependencies.
You're likely not in the node directory. Try switching to the directory that you unpacked node to and try running the command there.
In case it helps anyone else - my issue was a rookie error, I had a space in the name line of my package.json and it caused the dependencies to be unreadable.
I came across this, and my issue was using an older version of node (3.X), when a newer version was required.
The error message actually suggested this as well:
...
Make sure you have the latest version of node.js and npm installed
...
So the solution may be as simple as upgrading node/npm. You can easily do this using nvm, the "Node Version Manager"
After you've installed nvm, you can install and use the latest version of node by simply running this command:
nvm install node
For example:
$ nvm install node

In mac you might have downloaded and installed Node js in
/Users/yourusername/Downloads/nodejs-todo-master , so go here and run npm install command, no need of sudo as well., you should get output like this...

First download json package file from https://github.com/npm/read-package-json
and then run npm install from terminal.
This is all because you are not in the desired directory. You need to first get into the desired directory. Mine was angular-phonecat directory. So I typed in cd angular-phonecat and then npm install.
If someone is in my situation facing this error and have tried all the above solutions, like:
you are in the right directory
you have a package.json file,
the JSON is valid,
you have tried to run %temp%
you have tried " npm install -d --save"
etc.
Mine worked by doing "npm install --force"
Note: This was also recommended in the error itself, which I didn't pay attention to earlier.
Even " Yarn install" worked.
npm install -d --save worked for me. -d flag command force npm to install your dependencies and --save will save the all updated dependencies in your package.json
For me I'm on windows 10 X64...
My code npm install on cmd failed
So instead of npm i used Yarn
Just type yarn install instead of npm install
This fixed my problem.Tried for 2 days finally found the best
solution
To install yarn , on cmd enter the following code
npm install --global yarn
To check if it has installed correctly enter the following code
yarn --version
Hey if you found error and it stuck while installing then try this
Open run and type %Temp% and delete all file
Then type prefetch on run app an delete all files then try it
These Will do the Job
npm install -g yarn
yarn install
or
npm install --force
Hey if you found error and stcuk while installing packages
,getting only three files like json file ,lock file and module file using yarn then try this using yarn.
Open run and type %Temp% and delete all file
Then type prefetch on run app an delete all files
Then type on CMD npx create -react-app it will give you all packages
In my project directory, I installed Grunt by using the following command:
npm install grunt
...after that I did Grunt server in my project directory but it gives me command not found error.
Raj$ grunt server
-bash: grunt: command not found
And:
npm install grunt
npm WARN package.json BID-2.0#0.0.0 No description
npm WARN package.json BID-2.0#0.0.0 No repository field.
npm WARN package.json BID-2.0#0.0.0 No README data
How can I fix it?
You need to install Grunt's command line interface (CLI) globally as well.
From their site:
npm install -g grunt-cli
You may need to use sudo command (for OSX, *nix, BSD etc) or run your command shell as Administrator (for Windows) to do this.
This will put the grunt command in your system path, allowing it to be run from any directory.
You will have to install grunt after installing node / npm with: npm install -g grunt. Then it will be available at the cmd.
