Created a package.json file, but getting dependency errors when running npm install

I know this is a common question and I tried researching on here, but none of the answers have seemed to help me thus far.

I am following this tutorial to learn node, and after I try to install the package.json I received the following errors:

npm ERR! install Couldn't read dependencies
npm ERR! Darwin 14.3.0
npm ERR! argv "node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "install"
npm ERR! node v0.12.4
npm ERR! npm  v2.10.1
npm ERR! path /Users/salvi/Desktop/nodejs1/package.json
npm ERR! code ENOPACKAGEJSON
npm ERR! errno -2

npm ERR! package.json ENOENT, open '/Users/salvi/Desktop/nodejs1/package.json'
npm ERR! package.json This is most likely not a problem with npm itself.
npm ERR! package.json npm can't find a package.json file in your current directory.

npm ERR! Please include the following file with any support request:
npm ERR!     /Users/salvi/Desktop/nodejs1/node_modules/npm-debug.log



// package.json

{
    "name": "node-api",
    "main": "server.js",
    "dependencies": {
        "express": "~4.0.0",
        "mongoose": "~3.6.13",
        "body-parser": "~1.0.1"
    }
}

I know I have node installed because of checking the version, and Im running this command in the terminal in the root of the application. Any help appreciated!

EDIT: I am receiving the following now when I run npm install:

npm install -bash: /usr/local/bin/npm: No such file or directory

As we can see, there paсkage.json no in the project folder. Create it by running the command npm init in project folder or create your own with a text editor.
