Lesson:7 Hardhat installation

[Shawon-Mandal]

After creating "HARDHAT-FUND-ME-FCC" folder.
I tried to install hardhat in it.by typing the command "yarn add --dev hardhat" and it showed the result that it is done.But the problem is that I dont see any package.json or yarn.lock file in the new hardhat folder.

What can I do to get the files on my folder?

I am pasting my terminal below.Please,check if something went wrong.

~/hh-fcc/enters-simple-storage-fcc/hardhat-simple-storage-fcc/hardhat-fund-me-fcc$ yarn add --dev hardhat
yarn add v1.22.15

Uhm.. the terminal does show the installation of the dependencies to be successful, which means there is a node_modules file.

Are you sure your path is correct? That is the only possibility, whether it be in the terminal, your explorer, or the installation path. Diagnosing this should fix your issue.

The easiest way to get the package.json and yarn.lock is to run yarn -y init first before running yarn add --dev hardhat to install hardhat

Thank you @othaime-en this worked for me:)

you might be nesting your your project folders, which id advise against.

You should always run this command in the terminal (make sure you're in the right directory) when you create a new folder. It'll give you the required files.

yarn init (asks you to set custom values)

or

yarn init -y (sets all default values)

If you're using npm, just replace "yarn" with "npm".

Thanks mate. This solved it for me

[Shawon-Mandal]

Thanks a lot everyone!!
My problem was that I was nesting every project folder.Now that I created the fund me folder in the right directory,everything works just fine.
