Same here.

I believe this is similar to #8871, however that one is about global install (-g or --global and it seems like they fixed it). But local install still suffers the issue.

I think this warning is simply trying to tell you that you do not have a package.json in your current directory. While it is not necessary to have a package.json in order to simply install modules as you are doing, in the long run it is usually best to specify these modules as dependencies or devDependencies of whatever project you are starting.

@dileep502 Since there are no errors in the output you have posted (only warnings), is it safe to say that this issue may be closed as not a bug in npm?

Closing as not an issue with npm.
