I am having problems installing an npm package that has a file dependency off of github. When installing directly from a local package there are no problems.
The package that I am trying to install has a dependency on a package defined within on of its subdirectories.
The error I am getting is as follows:
npm ERR! code ENOLOCAL
npm ERR! Could not install from "node_modules/local-dependency-example/local-dependency" as it does not contain a package.json file.
I created the following package in order to reproduce: https://github.com/eladzlot/local-dependency-example
In order to reproduce you should create an empty package: npm init.
Then attempt to install: npm install eladzlot/local-dependency-example --save.
This problem occurs both with npm v3.10.10 and npm v5.5.1
