hi @mmahalwy ,

You can just use path LWRP attribute. It changes pwd of the npm install command.

It is true that the readme is not very precise on this point.

So if the file is
/app/package.json what would I do?

mburns commented 
nodejs_npm 'app' do
  path '/app/'
  json true
end

@mmahalwy , if json is set to true, it will look for a package.json in directory you set as path. This will install the dependencies into /app/node_modules/...
