Trying to use node.js, keep getting errors

I installed node.js because I needed a way for storing my javascript variables into a mysql database (I use phpmyadmin).

I'm getting this error and I just don't now what to do with it:

C:\Users\Robin> npm install mysql
C:\Users\Robin
`-- [email protected]

npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users\Robin\package.json'

npm WARN Robin No description

npm WARN Robin No repository field.

npm WARN Robin No README data

npm WARN Robin No license field.

I also typed another command (can't remember which one) and it gave me a list of what looks like usernames and email-accounts.

I have no idea which steps I need to take for succesfully installing node.js and make it work. I checked youtube video's and stuff but there like worthless.

So my question from scrath is: I installed node.js, how to make it work?

Kind regards from the Netherlands

Well, I may get your problem . Then i searched and found some valuable steps for you from the internet .

Create a new project: mkdir mysql-test && cd mysql-test.

Create a package.json file: npm init -y.

Install the mysql module: npm install mysql.

Create an app.js file and copy in the snippet below (editing the placeholders as appropriate). Run the file: node app.js. Observe a “Connected!” message

Here is the Url where i got these information :https://www.sitepoint.com/using-node-mysql-javascript-client/

Best of luck .

You need have package.json file. Do first:

npm init

Then you will have package.json. Now you can do:

npm install package

Or

npm install package --save (for save dependencies in package.json)

EDIT:

Iam trying do npm intall in a void folder in my coputer:

diego.martin@csa-188:~/Proyectos/pruebas/prueba$ npm init
This utility will walk you through creating a package.json file.
It only covers the most common items, and tries to guess sensible defaults.

See `npm help json` for definitive documentation on these fields
and exactly what they do.

Use `npm install <pkg> --save` afterwards to install a package and
save it as a dependency in the package.json file.

Press ^C at any time to quit.
name: (prueba) Hello
Sorry, name can no longer contain capital letters.
name: (prueba) hello
version: (1.0.0) 
description: None
entry point: (index.js) 
test command:

About to write to /home/diego.martin/Proyectos/pruebas/prueba/package.json:

  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "Diego",

}


Is this ok? (yes) yes

Then i have packaje.json:
