How do you install the nodejs dependencies on windows 8.1? I have nodejs installed under c:/program files/nodejs
When I issue the npm install command I get the following errors:
> cd myproject
Current working directory is 'C:\wamp\www\laravel\myproject'.
> "C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.cmd" install
npm WARN package.json @ No repository field.

Can any one provide instructions on how to get this working on windows 8.1? The npm install command is issued whilst in the following directory C:\wamp\www\laravel\myproject - the directory has the following package.json file:
{
"devDependencies": {
"gulp": "^3.8.8",
"laravel-elixir": "*"
}
}
It appears npm is having trouble finding the package.json file within one of the dependencies of your dependencies.
It worked fine for me using your package.json file and running npm install so I'd suggest deleting the node_modules folder and running npm install command again.
When running npm install npm looks for the package.json in the current directory, it appears that the error is due to no package.json file in the directory where you're running the command.
You can also run npm install {package} if you don't have a package.json file to install a package in the current directory. Add the -g option to install the package globally in the node core directory.
