Npm doesn't want to install from devDependencies, what should I do?

Question

JavaScript

There is a package.json file and when trying to install modules via npm, modules from the "devDependencies" section are not installed, however, everything from the "dependencies" section is installed quietly, they are not in the "node_modules" folder either. The funny thing is that through the command "npm i babel --save-dev" everything is fine installed. There is no desire to install everything manually, because. modules need to be connected. Has anyone experienced this?

"dependencies": {
    "react": "^15.x",
    "react-dom": "^15.x"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "babel": "6.x"
  }

Run command: npm install --dev

Answer 1

It looks like you have NODE_ENV=production environment variable set
Use
npm install --dev
