NPM has created a node modules directory at   home jasonshark   path   From your question it looks like you wanted node modules to be created in the current directory   For that    Create project directory  mkdir  lt project-name gt  Switch to  cd  lt project-name gt  Do  npm init This will create package json file at current path Open package json  amp  fill it something like below         name    project-name        version    project-version        dependencies              mongodb                Now do   npm install OR npm update   Now it will create node modules directory under folder  project-name  you created
