Question

I have a node app that I just started working with and each time I try to run it, it says there is a missing module. I’ve just been using npm install ... for each module but after doing about 10 of them I’m wondering if there is a way to have npm pull down all needed modules for a node app without me installing each one manually. Can it be done?

Answer 1

Yes, as long as the dependency is listed in package.json.

In the directory that contains package.json, just type:

npm install
