yarn add solc/npm install solc doesn't add anything (6:48:43)

Hi,

I have successfully installed both yarn and node.js in my project directory. Here's a proof below:

However, whenever I try to install solc, it seems as if it worked but whenever I look at my folder, it doesn't add any of the folders that were added whenever Patrick ran that command. Here's another screenshot

Any idea what is happening? Btw, I am not using wsl/linux

first run this:
yarn init -y
Then:
yarn add solc
