This is an issue in Insomnia as well.

The underlying problem is yarn searching parent directories for package.json files. Note that ignoring yarn warnings will not solve this issue as a malformed json will trigger a yarn error.

Your reproduction steps are insufficient to reproduce the problem. To reproduce the problem, before step 3, write {} to a package.json file in any parent directory (the user home directory, for example).

To fix the issue on an individual basis, find and remove the offending package.json by traversing parent directories.

Thanks you're right, there was a package.json file in my user directory for some reason. I deleted it and am now able to install plugins.
