Getting error when trying to load node packages in package.json file

I executed this command to install packages & put its references in package.json file.

 npm install gulp browserify gulp-browserify gulp-clean gulp-concat gulp-jshint gulp-util gulp-embedlr gulp-livereload tiny-lr connect-livereload express --save-dev

I am getting this error while launching this command:

You seem to have a package.json file at C:\wamp\www\Consult\package.json.

The package.json file specifies which packages npm should install.

Since the file exists, npm defaults to using it but fails to parse the contents as JSON.

You can either fix the package.json file, or delete it and run your command again.

I recommend checking out this guide: https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/using-a-package.json
