npm ERR! package.json npm can't find a package.json file in your current directory

I'm trying to setup a simple server implementation with node, but get this error: 

AC-MacBook-Pro:comments_box ac$ ls

package.json is missing, as the error clearly states. You should create this file. It can be done manually, but for first time npm init might be exactly what you need.
