Error while running "yarn add solc". Package.json, yarn.lock, node_modules files are not creating after running "yarn add solc".

Because of files are not creating, when I run yarn solcjs --bin --abi --include-path node_modules/ --base-path . -o . SimpleStorage.sol" it shows Error:

Error reading SimpleStorage.sol: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'SimpleStorage.sol'

Pls help

You need to run this command in the terminal before doing yarn add solc:

yarn init -y

This will generate the package.json file and then you can run yarn add solc to generate the yarn.lock and node_modules.

As @musubbinomair mentioned above first you need to initialize package manager file using

yarn init -y

then you add the dependencies that you need. Here it would be solc

yarn add solc

then create your SimpleStorage.sol file and run the command for which you are getting error
