Question

Please tell me, I can't understand it for the life of me.

Answer 1

npm initasks you various questions and creates a package.json that defines the project settings, dependencies, scripts, name, and more.
npm install [module]installs a module named module.
That is, to get started, you first need to do npm init(you can use the option --yes, which will set default answers to all questions), and then install the modules with the commandnpm install
