Question

I should get like this:


Next will be a description of my actions and the problem itself.

1) I go to the console and go to my folder.
2) I write the command npm install

Here I translated using Yandex translator, and it says "there is no such file or directory ..."
The following appeared in the folders:

3) Then I tried to write npm install express-generator -g

4) After that I I decided to prescribe the same thing but not globally npm install express-generator

Here I already have node_modules in the folder and pakage-lock.json has changed.

In addition, they make it clear to you in quite normal English that you are missing a package.json file
PS Start with these sections:
https://docs.npmjs.com/cli- commands/init.html
https://docs.npmjs.com/cli-commands/install.html
Packages themselves usually have readme too:
