IBM Mobile First - mfpdev-cli Installation Failure

Question

I have issue while installing npm mfpdev-cli (IBM Mobile First CLI).

I am using node v 6.11.2 npm v 5.4.1

I am unable to install mfpdev-cli. I am getting the below error:

Error message:

npm ERR! path /Users/divya/Desktop/MFP/mdo-windows-support/package.json

npm ERR! code ENOPACKAGEJSON

npm ERR! errno -2

npm ERR! syscall open

npm ERR! package.json ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/divya/Desktop/MFP/mdo-windows-support/package.json'

npm ERR! package.json npm can't find a package.json file in your current directory.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:

npm ERR! /Users/divya/.npm/_logs/2017-09-12T03_05_20_995Z-debug.log

Message:

I ran the installation in the current working directory which has Package.json file but the error says the package.json doesn't exist. The path, it is showing is not right- "/Users/divya/Desktop/MFP/mdo-windows-support/package.json". It has to be "Users/divya/Desktop/MFP/nzrb-tab-mobilefirst/package.json". How do I change the path?

I am not sure what causing this issue. Much appreciated your help/suggestions.

IBM MobileFirst CLI is not supported in the npm version whatever you are trying with.

Try installing the same with npm version 3.10.10 and this should resolve the issue which you are facing.
