Lesson 8: Cant find packages after installing with "yarn add --dev html-server"

[Benrockiee]

In lesson 8 of javascript and html, i Cant find package.json, node modules, yarn.lock as these files seems to be hidden even when ive installed these packages. Please how do i get rid of these error?

Also my prettierrc dont seem to be working and formatting codes.. Maybe thats because i cant also find prettier package

did you install these packages in the proper directory?

If you're using VSCode, you won't need to install any node modules.

Otherwise, you can force create the package.json with yarn init -y

I should also add to the comment above that I

1. Reinstall the lts version of node on the link which was (LTS Version: 16.15.1)
2. Checked on terminal that my version was 16.15.1 using node --version.
3. Ran yarn init -y on the vscode terminal which force created the package.json
4. Then afterwards, I did the yarn add solccommand and I saw the folders.
