npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '<root>/node_modules/supertest/package.json'

See original GitHub issue

I installed supertest before installing debug and it fixed this error.

Maybe make it a dependency of this module?

No. That’s not an issue of debug package. I think it’s related to NPM v3’s changed installation behavior.

You can resolve that issue by following methods:

Ensure dependencies described correctly on package.json
Just type npm install and hit Enter.
Check issue still exists. and If issue not resolved, continue these methods.
type npm cache clean and hit Enter
type sudo npm install -g npm and hit Enter.
Retry npm install and hit Enter.

if issue not resolved even tried these methods, Please reply with your Node.js version, NPM version, Operating System, and package.json which is using.

@FaShapouri It seems trying npm install in uninitialized npm package directory. you should initialize package with npm init. If you want to use debug without package initialize, just use npm install debug.
