I got a list of node-modules, which is managed by NPM.
This is my package.json:
{
"name": "extension-acme",
"scripts": {
"archive": "webpack -p && composer archive --format=zip"
},
"devDependencies": {
"babel-core": "^6.23.1",
"babel-loader": "^6.1.0",
"babel-plugin-transform-runtime": "^6.1.2",
"babel-preset-env": "^1.1.8",
"babel-preset-es2015": "^6.22.0",
"babel-runtime": "^5.8.0",
"vue-hot-reload-api": "^1.2.0",
"vue-html-loader": "^1.0.0",
"vue-loader": "^8.2.0",
"webpack": "^1.12.9"
}
}
This works fine. But now I'd like to include this node module: https://github.com/craigh411/vue-star-rating
Now the sources of this module have to be stored in app/components/vue-star-rating.
Is it possible to change the location for this single package?
First way
You can't install package in specific folder like app/components/vue-star-rating without node_modules folder.
You can install package like this:
npm --prefix app/components/ install <your-package>
and then installed in app/components/node_modules/<your-package>

npm folders
Second way
Also you can install package normally and move in specific folder

Couple of weeks ago I installed NestJS globally on my computer.
Now I'm coming back to that, to start learning.
So I created new project with comand:
nest new ./
It generated all the files, but when I try to run this application with command:
nest start
I expected this template project to start but there are errors with importing paths?
Is this due to version of my installed Nest or something?
Errors on the screen:
Version of my Nest:
7.5.6

I had the same issue. The following two commands fixed it:
npm install #nestjs/common
npm install #nestjs/core
These commands make sure you are using the lastest versions of those packages.
Run
npm i --save #nestjs/config
Reference: https://docs.nestjs.com/techniques/configuration
Run this command in terminal "npm install --save #nestjs/config"
I've stuck with this problem when I built a nodejs application (like, express, nestjs, etc.)
So when you build a nodejs app, the build(dist) folder just contains your code, not node_modules.
You can copy node modules to a build folder, like:
cp package.json build/package.json && cd build && npm install --only=production
Or try other solutions
I just updated the node and npm using nvm. When I start the node server I am getting this error. I tried with different solutions. This type of questions already existed in stack overflow but none of these worked for me. So I tried with these things but no use.
1.Removed node modules and install node modules with npm install.
2.Updated babel-cli version.
3.downgraded node and nvm.
4.npm i balanced-match.
5.npm i -g balanced-match.
6.npm i balanced-match --save.
I am adding my package.json

In console it showing like this.
console error
I wasted 12 hours time to solve this problem only.
I solved this problem by installing the balanced-match with npm install balanced-match in root folder. I don't know why it is taking root folder node modules. In console error it is clearly given path but I have not aware of it. If anyone explain why it is taking root node modules that would be helpful to me.
I did not see any node packages as balanced-match. Hence, it is giving the error. You can also manually add package in package.json and run npm install.
If you ran this command: npm i balanced-match --save there would be an entry for it in your package.json file. Does your app require this module for production or is it a development tool? That will determine which flag you should pass to the install command. From the docs:
-P, --save-prod: Package will appear in your dependencies. This is the default unless -D or -O are present.
-D, --save-dev: Package will appear in your devDependencies.
-O, --save-optional: Package will appear in your optionalDependencies.
--no-save: Prevents saving to dependencies.
When using any of the above options to save dependencies to your
package.json, there are two additional, optional flags:
-E, --save-exact: Saved dependencies will be configured with an exact version rather than using npm’s default semver range operator.
-B, --save-bundle: Saved dependencies will also be added to your bundleDependencies list.
The previous answer does have the most likely fix for your problem. You can either run the install command again with the correct flag for your use case (which will install it and update your package.json), or you can add it manually and run npm install again.
When you install, are there any errors at all? If not, it should work. You can check for installed packages using npm ls (passing optional tags like '-g' will show you all globally installed modules, and you can modify the output by also passing a depth tag like such: --depth=0.
I just want to install only packages that are included in the packages.json. But when I run npm install, over 800 packages are suddenly installed. Is there a specific command to realize this or is my package.json (see below) wrong?

npm install uses package.json to install packages you want AND their own dependencies. So you haven't choice unless you want broken packages ? In that case you could manually uninstall packages you don't want.
In this case when u install this packages the dependencies of that particular packages has also been installed.
Like if u install critical module then =>
bluebird
chalk
cheerio
clean-css
cli
debug
filter-css
fs-extra ... etc
has also been installed, that's the case in here
I am not sure why would that be happening, whenever we run npm install it picks up the package.json and installs packages defined in it including the transitive dependencies. By looking at your package.json there should not be 800 of them.unless you have multiple package.json linked up with each other.
I would recommend to copy package.json to a different directory and clear cached in modules and
run npm install --log-level=verbose
this should give in the details for the rest packages being called up.
I decided to move my project into different folder. I didn't copy the node-modules folder.
When I run npm install, it said nothing and installed nothing. Obviously it looked into devDependencies section instead of Dependencies that I used before.
How can I make npm install all from Dependencies?
My package.json:
{
"name": "zzz",
"version": "0.0.0",
"private": true,
"scripts": {
"start": "node ./bin/www"
},
"dependencies": {
"body-parser": "~1.18.2",
"cookie-parser": "~1.4.3",
"debug": "~2.6.9",
"ejs": "~2.5.7",
"express": "~4.15.5",
"express-session": "^1.15.6",
"grunt": "^1.0.1",
"grunt-contrib-less": "^1.4.1",
"grunt-exec": "^3.0.0",
"grunt-link-html": "^0.1.2",
"moment": "^2.20.1",
"mongoose": "^5.0.0-rc1",
"morgan": "~1.9.0",
"passport": "^0.4.0",
"passport-local": "^1.0.0",
"serve-favicon": "~2.4.5"
}
}
If I try to install package individually it creates and updates devDependencies section, not dependencies as expected.
Solution found. It turned out that NPM stops working as expected if you have spaces in the "name" in package.json. As soon as I removed them NPM started working. It was so confusing!
There is a typo in your json in the form of a blank space near "serve-favicon": "~2.4.5". Better use an IDE like VSCODE and an extension like beautify to avoid unnecessary errors.Also its asking for a dependency "grunt#~0.4.0" . So install it and do npm install.
I have taken over a NodeJS project where, for convenience, some symlinks have been placed in the node_modules directory, which has been version controlled (just with the symlinks, not with any packages).
Upon running npm install to install the packages, the entire directory is replaced and those files are deleted, causing the script that runs after the install to fail as it depends on those files existing.

How do I ensure that these files are preserved upon npm install? I know for a fact this used to work in earlier versions of npm but I haven't seen anything in the changelogs.
NodeJS Version = v5.4.1
NPM Version = 3.3.12
Thanks in advance for the help!
When npm install is run, it will examine the package.json file and attempt to install any dependencies listed that are not already installed to the node_modules directory. If there are no dependencies listed, it replaces the entire node_modules directory.
To preserve the files in the node_modules directory, you can do the following:
Install a module and have it added to the dependencies list in the package.json.
Move the symlink files into the module's folder.
