I've been using the command line for some time now, but I'm still not sure what exactly happens when I do certain things - and I'm not sure what to google for help.
When I'm working with Anaconda and Python, I found the environments I created in C:\Users\<User>\Anaconda3\envs. And every python package I install in an environment seems to go there. Great!
But how does this work outside of Anaconda/Python? For example, I installed the vue CLI via npm install -g #vue/cli. What exactly happens when I do this; or more precicely, where are files saved?
During the creation of a new vue project, a readme.md is created as well. It states that users should simply npm install to setup the project. It seems that this command installs all packages stated in the package.json. I would like to try out if this command works for new users, but I already (obviously) have everything installed. Can I create some kind of environment (like I do with Anaconda for Python) to accomplish this?
Thanks a lot for your answers!

I inherited a monorepo with a packages folder that has every existing package. I want to add a main package that is required by my panel package. panel already exists at version 0.34.0. Seeing as I merge to my repo without publishing a new version all the time, I want to create main at 0.34.0.
I tried going into packages/main but doing npx lerna publish only wants me to do 0.34.1 so I am worried if I try to do custom 0.34.0 I will break something. I tried npx lerna boostrap but it even says it goes to root doesn't ask for me to do anything in regards to brand new package in existing project.
Do I need to create the package and bump my whole monorepo to 0.34.1 via publish to then let any existing package use it?
I use symlinks locally, but when I go to make a PR, my CI will run yarn install which (I don't think) would find the packages when reviewing the package.jsons. Therefore, I don't think Using Lerna with unpublished packages applies here? I think I need to actually publish a version that can be referenced?
Going into the new main folder and typing npm publish - and just skipping lerna, is what worked. Found that out here: https://github.com/lerna/lerna/issues/1691.
Everything went where I expected and then I could just manually update package.json files as needed that are using the new package.
Problem Summary
So I'm trying to launch a new Gridsome project for local development. I've toyed with Gridsome in the past and had a great experience, so I decided to give it another shot.
This time around; however, when I run the gridsome create command, the system creates a new Gridsome site directory as expected but returns the following error message:
The instructions in this error message say to enter the newly-created site directory and run gridsome develop to start local development. However, after running cd my-gridsome-site and subsequently running gridsome develop, I then receive this error:
So far, I've tried running npm install --save from the site directory as well as yarn install, both to no avail. Thinking that this was possibly tied to my terminal, I switched from using the Zsh terminal to using the Bash terminal. This also did not work.
I'm at a loss here and could really use a hand.
Thank you for helping,
David
This seems to be an environment error. Gridsome requires Node.js (v8.3+) and recommends Yarn.
Make sure your Node.js version is v8.3+ and use only one package manager like Yarn.
to check node version: node -v
I had this same issue, but I resolved it after installing yarn and running the project with yarn instead of NPM. So you should try using yarn it will help,
I am working on a project with dotnet core, in Linux and it is using MVC.
I am reading a book for learning how to put things together. The book advises installing Bower. But the last time I researched bower I believe they were advising towards using something else for new projects.
I would like to know what alternative I can use for front end management. I need to be able to use Bootstrap, Jquery, Popper and Datatables on my page. And of course, I should be able to use it in Linux.
Thanks for the help francium. NPM is working just fine.It is in the official Ubuntu repository. You have to install popper the following way though: npm install popper.js --save
If you don't specify the .js extension it will give you a warning saying that bootstrap requires a popper installation but it was not installed. You also have to install git on your machine to make it work. I did not do it the first time I ran it and it gave me an error asking me if it was installed. Thanks for the suggestion, It was relatively easy to do get things working.
Yarn is now the alternative to Bower, but to install Yarn you need to use NPM
this question might seem stupid but I'm looking for a solution to this scenario:
Let's say I'm starting a new project at an offline environment and I have some npm packages installed globally on my laptop and I'd like to use them for a new project I just created.
For example: I've used npm i -g create-react-app and now I'd like to use create-react-app to make a new react app but I'm currently offline.
I've tried to follow an "offline npm" solution where I basically create an npm server on my computer but I didn't manage to make it work, and am not sure if this will give me the solution I'm looking for.
Sorry if this was answered before, I couldn't find a solution.
Thanks in advance!
You can try run
create-react-app youproject
when you are offline. For me, this sometimes work, sometimes not.
Other solution is install offline all packages, defined in package.json file. You can do this, if you have this packages installed in online mode.
So you can try install this packages, using:
npm link packagename
or
npm i './path_to_package_in_user_directory' // yes, you can also install packages from folder
This solution is also ok, when you try add new packages to existing project. Sometimes this causes error and you need reinstall all packages (that's big pain), but most of all, works good.
According to the docs, Titanium now has support to install npm packages: http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/Node.js_Support
However, upon reading it, I am very confused as to where to actually put my node_modules directory. There is some mention in the docs about a Resources directory, however, for Alloy this is supposed to be left empty, as it is frequently overwritten by the compiler.
So my question is, where do I put my node_modules and how do I reference it.
In Alloy project you are supposed to run npm install inside the app folder. But according to this bug JIRA Ticket modules that use core-modules won't work correctly. So you have to try if you module works.
Another explanation: https://stackoverflow.com/a/45041737/5193915
From experimentation, it seems like you can do npm install in the app/lib/ so your package are in app/lib/node_modules. This does NOT work on the app/ directory.
Note that if you use tishadow, you will also need to install the npm packages there as well in the Resources/ directory (as they still do not use the Alloy framework).
