      Have you created a package.json file? Maybe run this command first again.

      C:\Users\Nuwanst\Documents\NodeJS\3.chat>npm init

      It creates a package.json file in your folder.

      Then run,

      C:\Users\Nuwanst\Documents\NodeJS\3.chat>npm install socket.io --save

      The --save ensures your module is saved as a dependency in your package.json file.

      Let me know if this works.
