    Try first npm init, to create the . json that identifies the packages to be installed. Then npm install express --save

  • You want to install only within a project or global?

  • I want to install global

It looks like you are trying to install the package within a Node project and not globally in the OS. To do this you can use the following command:

npm install -g express@latest

If there is a package.json in the local directory, where you are running the command, you can simply use:

npm install express

or

npm install express --save-dev if it is a development-only dependency, which in the case of Express I believe is not.

First create a new project using the "npm init" command. This will create a file called "package.json" in your folder. Then use the command "npm install express --save" ("--save" if you want to save the express as a dependency of your project).
