[MarcLunel]

Hi ! I've try to install multer with npm install --save multer but it doesn't work as we can read below.

I'm using Node V8.11.2 and npm V5.6.

How can I do please ?

I solved my problem.

Instead of typing npm install --save multer in my server folder, I went back to my project folder (including server and client folders) and I typed my code here. It worked !

For anyone who comes from a google search like me, I had this issue as well.

Instead of typing npm install --save multer in my server folder, I went back to my project folder (including server and client folders) and I typed my code here. It worked !

For me it's impossible to do so. I'm in the project's folder and there lays my package.json, I don't have any outer folder to go to. My error message is similar, but complains about another dependency (busboy);

I use node 13.2.0 npm 6.13.1, express 5.0.0-alpha,7:

I solved it by doing npm install all again after I removed package-lock.json and node_modules

just delete package-lock.json folder then it will get installed
