Should this work in Windows Anaconda?

(base) PS C:\Users\loren> npm i --global qnm

(base) PS C:\Users\loren> qnm lodash

I moved to:

Maybe just not going to work? But it seemed to install...

Hi @LorenAmelang
The first error that you've seen is that qnm wasn't able to find a package directory (here)

This means it's trying to traverse upwards to find a package.json (using this package)
This means that the directory that you chose or any directory above it doesn't have a package.json file.
I think that you're using Windows command prompt, but which is a linux command, so it didn't work.

The fact that you've got the error message means that the package was installed correctly, you can run qnm --help to verify.

Played with this some more. It can work in Windows Anaconda!

(base) PS C:\Users\loren> cd "C:\Users\loren\Documents\Psychoros\Gridsome Test\bulma"

But it needs both node_modules and package.json in the directory you run it from:

(base) PS C:\Users\loren\node_modules\core-js> qnm list
could not find node_modules directory
(base)

That "modules" doesn't qualify... Nor does "node_modules" being in the parent directory. Seems to need both in the current directory,

Great, thanks @LorenAmelang. Closing
