npm install discord.io winston –save not working

[IanDaBest]

Hello. I am trying to make a discord bot but when I do npm install discord.io winston –save it doesn't work. It says: npm ERR! code EJSONPARSE npm ERR! file C:\Users\IanDaBest\Discord\DaBestBot\codes\package.json npm ERR! JSON.parse Failed to parse json npm ERR! JSON.parse Unexpected token “ in JSON at position 3 while parsing near '{ npm ERR! JSON.parse “name”: “DaBestBot”,...' npm ERR! JSON.parse Failed to parse package.json data. npm ERR! JSON.parse package.json must be actual JSON, not just JavaScript.

I don't know javascript at all and I am just trying to make my own discord bot.

Details: Following tutorial: https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/how-to-make-a-discord-bot/ OS: Windows 10 I am using Windows Powershell If that helps

Please post your package.json content here

its is as follows:

{ “name”: “DaBestBot”, “version”: “1.0.0”, “description”: “This is DaBestBot”, “main”: “bot.js”, “author”: “IanDaBest”, “dependencies”: {} }

@IanDaBest it seems you are using wrong double quote character, this might have been caused when you copy/paste the code from Medium. Notice the difference with ” and "

Use this instead

{
"name": "DaBestBot",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "This is DaBestBot",
"main": "bot.js",
"author": "IanDaBest",
"dependencies": {}
}

it still didn't work. It said

npm ERR! code EINVALIDTAGNAME npm ERR! Invalid tag name "–save": Tags may not have any characters that encodeURIComponent encodes.

do npm install discord.io winston --save it should be --save not –save

this might have been caused when you copy/paste the code from your reference site.
