Why doesn't npm install files locally?

Question

Node.js

I run the command

npm install cheerio request

No "-g". But for some reason, nothing appears in the folder from which I ran the command, and it’s not clear where these modules and index.js are at all. Why is that?
Ok, I do
npm init before that, and then everything is cool - it installs locally, but does not generate index.js with dependency imports. What to do?

Answer 1

look in node_modules folder

Answer 2

Why should he suddenly do this?))
Your dependencies in package.json and node_modules/*
If you are installing from root, a global installation option is possible even without the -g switch.
