I have package.json file in which following devDependencies are mentioned:
{ "name": "tabs-torico",
"version": "1.0.0",
"dependencies": {},
"devDependencies": {
"grunt": "~0.4.2",
"grunt-angular-templates": "~0.5.1",

"karma-ng-scenario": "~0.1.0",

},
"engines": {

},
"scripts": {

}
}
Now when I run npm install gives me the following error:
npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY:

none was installed.
npm WARN karma#0.10.10 requires a peer of karma-phantomjs-launcher#~0.1.0
but none was installed.
Will running npm install install all the dependencies mentioned in the package.json or do I need to install jasmine-core and karma-jasmine separately?

Answer 1

npm install installs all the dependencies specified in your package.json. You should find the in your node_modules folder.

Answer 2

It's the problem with your version of karma.
In the package.json file includes the following line instead of the current line of karma.
"karma": "^0.11.14"
Also, it is important to note that if you are using karma-chrome-launcher
you need to include that as well in your package.json file as the new version of karma doesn't come with it.
So include the following line as well.
"karma-chrome-launcher": "^0.1.2"
I hope this will solve your problem.
