Node npm install express does not install in individual folders now
Hello Experts
I have been able to previously install npm install express into individual folders earlier today but now can't.
If I attempt to install npm express into a targeted folder, it loads in the cmd line but does not generate the package and node_modules file and folder that it's suppose to in the targetted folder.
Is there a solution available for this? (no static file servers/request, only vanilla npm install express). I need to install the express module into any folder that is targetted/destination on a desktop.

Yes I get a general error of EMPTY FILE when attempting to install node.js into an individual folder.
I am not sure what the npm cache clear does. Is it a permanent solution? Does it empty out the ROOT folder of the node.js?
The OS running is Windows 10 x64
The version of Node.JS is the latest. Version 6.4.1
Correction Version 8.12.0

The version of Node.JS is the latest. Version 6.4.1No it isn't - 8 was the latest release until a couple days ago when the stable 10 was released.
My advice - update Node - there have been a lot of changes in the last couple versions.

Hello Experts,
Just found that the current npm is 8.12.0 using
Having issues when I attempt the install npm express in a targetted folder. Normally running this would generate the package-lock files and the node_modules folder. When it runs in the CMD, its not installing the express in folder of choice anymore.

Have you tried removing the express package and reinstalling?
