no such file or directory, open '/Users/felixfong/package.json'

But i don't not want to install package at my computer directory,i want to install at my local web app directory

Answer 1

Are you sure you are inside your local web app directory when you run the npm install connect command?

cd app-directory/
npm install connect

Also ensure that a package.json file is also present in the app-directory.

If it isn't present, you can use npm init command to create the package.json file interactively.
