npm install failing. Cloud 9 ide

I am having the same issue with npm. Tried on my pc tried to avoid directory issues and getting the same issues on cloud9 . Hoping it being on a virtual machine there would be little i could do to mess it up, i have tried private:true and falsi and completely without it. As well as sockt.io "latest" same with express. Any insight would be great

{ "name": "chit",
 "version": "0.0.1",
 "description": "chat practice",
 "private": "false",
 "dependencies":{ "socket.io":"1.4.8",
 "express":"4.14.0" }
 "author": "Charles",
 "license": "ISC"

Thank you so much

You're missing a colon here:

{ "name": "chit",
"version": "0.0.1",
"description": "chat practice",
"private": "false",
"dependencies":{ "socket.io":"1.4.8",
"express":"4.14.0" } // <--- missing colon here
"author": "Charles",
"license": "ISC"

It should be:

{
    "name": "chit",
    "version": "0.0.1",
    "description": "chat practice",
    "private": "false",
    "dependencies": {
        "socket.io": "1.4.8",
        "express": "4.14.0"
    },
    "author": "Charles",
    "license": "ISC"
}
