I think you tried installing these dependencies in "/projects/dec-raffle/contract" instead of "/projects/dec-raffle". Try installing these dependencies (run your command npm install...) in /projects/dec-raffle because this is the folder where your hardhat is installed not /projects/dec-raffle/contract. I hope this should work.

Oops, I'm sorry I misunderstood some of the details you mentioned above. Maybe something's wrong with your Node.js installation or npm Installation. Check them with "node --version" and "npm --version" once
