Step 2---Create the Package JSON for the Project (AWS Guide)

5.5.2 Step 2—Create the Package JSON for the Project

After you create the awsnodesample project directory, you create and add a package.json file for holding the metadata for your Node.js project.

In the project directory, create a new file named package.json. Then add this JSON to the file.
