When I npm install package, npm says that it successfully installed the package, but when I look for it in the node_modules folder, the package is not in the folder. When I npm install -g package, the package gets installed into the global /node_modules folder, so I have to drag the package from the global folder to the local folder.
Why is npm install not installing into my local /node_modules folder?
There are a few things you can do to resolve this problem, as mentioned here.
First, try deleting your package-lock.json file. If you run npm install or npm i after that it should generate a brand new installation with no reference to an existing package-lock.json file.
If that doesn't work, try deleting your node_modules directory in your project. Then run npm install or npm i.
If THAT doesn't work, you should try deleting both the node_modules directory AND the package-lock.json. Then run npm install or npm i. This should resolve the issue.
