Those are not errors. Those are warnings. This will happen if you are using npm@6 and install with --save-dev when you don't already have a package.json file. The results are normal if you don't intend to have a package.json file in your project, but that does mean that your dependencies are not being saved in package.json for future installation. npm@6 will create a package-lock.json file however.

In general, if you're just messing around to get familiar with stylelint, you can ignore the warnings. If you are scaffolding a project, you probably want to create a package.json first. To do that quickly, run npm init.

If you update to npm@7, the warnings do not show up and npm creates the package.json file for you instead. However it will only contain the devDependencies entry when it is created. That may be OK depending on your use case. If in doubt, run npm init first.
