When I try to create a
package.json
file usingnpm init
I keep getting the following:npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/init npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/init npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/daemon npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/daemon [email protected] node_modules/init └── [email protected]
What is wrong? I have looked everywhere and I cannot find an answer. Here is what I get when I run the following command:
Amens-Mac-mini:~ amenmojara$ npm init =ddd npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/%3Dddd npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/init npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/init npm http 404 https://registry.npmjs.org/%3Dddd npm ERR! 404 '%3Dddd' is not in the npm registry. npm ERR! 404 You should bug the author to publish it npm ERR! 404 npm ERR! 404 Note that you can also install from a npm ERR! 404 tarball, folder, or http url, or git url. npm ERR!
