Using nvm for a specific project

node 6.5.0
npm 6.1.0
package.json already does exist in local directory

When I am in the current directory for my project I run npm install and see it added one package from one contributor current directory npm install result

when I look at nvm -> v6.5.0 -> lib -> node_modules I see this nvm location result. I have tried also using the most up to date version of node and running npm i -g npm and saw the same result. Anyone encounter a similar issue and has found a solution? Any help would be great...Thanks!

What is the problem? – SLaks Jun 01 '18 at 18:24
The npm install is not honoring anything in the package.json and no node_modules created in local directory. – Josh606Damon Jun 01 '18 at 18:25
What do you want to achieve? – mehta-rohan Jun 01 '18 at 18:26
want to see the node_modules in the current directory. I see the node_modules in the lib folder so why is not placing the same in this local project? – Josh606Damon Jun 01 '18 at 18:29
Are you running `npm install` from the directory that has `package.json`? – SLaks Jun 01 '18 at 18:49
That is correct. I am running npm install from the directory that has package.json. – Josh606Damon Jun 02 '18 at 21:45
@SLaks so I updated to run `yarn` as opposed to `npm install` and it achieves what I am looking to do. Node version does need to be higher than 6.5.0. This is a work around but not a solution to the original problem when running node at 6.5.0. – Josh606Damon Jun 05 '18 at 16:22
