npm init is actually creating the package.json file and setting the characteristics of the project(It has no relation with bootstrap). So, in the field package name, you have to enter the name of your project (you have now entered the npm install bootstrap command) or you can just press enter if the name displayed in bracket is enough. Complete the npm init processs by setting all characteristics of project.
As next step, you can do npm install [email protected] --save. It'll work
Deleting the lock-file and running npm i again solved the issue for me.
I was getting the same problem but I changed package-name first name was like:
My Folder Name
I changed it to
my-folder-name
with no spaces & no capital letters. It solved the problem for me. Happy coding
Just hit enter and cycle through all the options. You don't type in the npm install until after you have finished init.
Not only DELETE package-lock.json in main folder but also find (whit this command find node_modules/ -iname *-lock*) and delete all '-lock' files in node_modules then run npm install again.
Make sure you are typing in the right place, npm init and then hit enter/return a few times until you are at a prompt starting with C:\Users if you are in Windows.
I also encountered the same problem when installing sass, because I watched some tutorials on YT where they instructed to use Live Sass Compiler, so I had to change some settings for saving the file. Then I uninstalled it, go through the traditional process of
npm init
npm install node-sass --save-dev
npm run compile:sass
and .....BAMMMM!!!! It worked
Press a few enter that will help you get out of npm init. then type the npm install comment. This worked for me.
I was also facing the same issue while installing the json-server ...but got resolved actually the problem is not with the folder name....so, there is two way to sort this problem one by ---- after npm init press 5-8 times enter or u can directly use (npm init -y) both will work fine Happy coding
