Error in package creation with npm init in Node Js

Question

I just started learning NodeJs from tutorialspoint(TP).

When I tried exactly what they said in this link,

That is , to create a package

C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs>npm init
This utility will walk you through creating a package.json file.
It only covers the most common items, and tries to guess sane defaults.

See `npm help json` for definitive documentation on these fields
and exactly what they do.

Use `npm install <pkg> --save` afterwards to install a package and
save it as a dependency in the package.json file.

Press ^C at any time to quit.

Answer 1

You are trying to create a project inside a system folder C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs for which you need administrator password.

You can open your cmd as administrator and then you'll be able to init your project there.
