Error when installing webpack React and Redux npm

I am following the tutorial on React and Redux on thenewboston Youtube channel, and just can't install dependencies when I navigate to the directory where the files are provided. Here's the link, and I am following exactly the tips from the beginning of the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSAw5f8mOQs&list=PL6gx4Cwl9DGBbSLZjvleMwldX8jGgXV6a&index=3

This is the error I get:

:~$ npm install
npm ERR! install Couldn't read dependencies
npm ERR! Error: ENOENT, open '/home/joe/package.json'
npm ERR! If you need help, you may report this log at:

You are missing package.json.

There are two possibilities:

You want to create new package.json

If you want to create a new package.json use npm init command to setup your package.json.

You already have some code with a package.json

If you already got some code from some repo, cd to that directory where you have your package.json and do a npm install or npm i
