Hi @intothefantasy,

your package.json has an error (well, in Glitch it is counted as an error): your version field does not contain a valid semver. This is why the packages don’t get installed. You should set it to 1.0.0 (for example), and then the packages will be installed. If you scroll up in the Logs, you’ll see that this error is reported.

Let us know if this fixes your issue :slight_smile:

In the above scenario, you go into the package.json file and change the value alongside ‘version’ to 1.0.0. However, there are a few potential causes of this problem, so if that doesn’t fix it then provide your project name and we can take a look for you.

My package json:

“description”: “noot noot”,
“main”: “node server.js”,
“scripts”: {

“express”: “^4.16.3”,
“moment”: “^2.22.2”,
“moment-duration-format”: “^2.2.2”
}
}

Trying to change it to 1.0.0 did nothing for me.

project name: outgoing-actress

The name value you’ve specified in package.json can’t contain spaces, try changing it to ‘lostsoul’

10

i didn’t do that, but:
all i did was run these under console:

npm install discord.js
npm install dotenv
npm install express

and it worked for me. hope this helps anyone else having this issue. :slight_smile:

Hey @MinecraftCiach, welcome to the Glitch forum!

When I take a look at the project listed in the json you posted I’m not seeing any installation problems; are you still having issues?

Hi,

I’m having similiar problem and I think that I did everything right.
Here is my config.json file: https://github.com/guliii41/discordbot/blob/master/config.json
and here’s what I get when I try to run my index.js file: https://github.com/guliii41/discordbot/blob/master/issue%20file
Hope someone will help me since I’m new to JS.
Thanks.

No. I don’t have any issues right now.

Does running enable-pnpm in the console help?
