Question

I just want to install socket.io to my project which is located on 3.chat folder. But when I run following command it shows following Warnings.And its not created a node_mod

Answer 1

Have you created a package.json file? Maybe run this command first again.

C:\Users\Nuwanst\Documents\NodeJS\3.chat>npm init

It creates a package.json file in your folder.

Then run,

C:\Users\Nuwanst\Documents\NodeJS\3.chat>npm install socket.io --save

The --save ensures your module is saved as a dependency in your package.json file.

Let me know if this works.
