npm install with --save does not save in package.json

I have npm-5.3.0 installed on my arch Linux.

I create a new project with npm init and fill in the details. This creates a package.json file with the details.

After that when I do npm install <package> --save, the file package.json does not change, and there is no entry for dependencies in the file. I had installed the package globally previously if that matters.

ı have solved adding npm 'FIRST' module from to dependencies manuelly in package.js this problem. Next, you can try npm install moduleName --save

I found that the --save does not work with global and I had global=true set in the .npmrc file.

Setting global=false in the file fixed it.

Check update is available npm i -g npm-check-updates npm-check-updates -u npm install

you have to change

"dependencies": { "express": "", "mongodb": "", "underscore": "", "rjs": "", "jade": "", "async": "" }

then run npm update --save
