Install yoast with npm and then run it in nodejs

[HappyLDE]

Explanation

I'm trying to get Yoast to work in a nodejs app, so I installed it following these steps (node v12.13.0):

• In an empty folder I opened the terminal and typed: npm install yoastseo

• Result:

npm WARN saveError ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/bringw/www/first-app/package.json'
npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/bringw/www/first-app/package.json'
npm WARN first-app No description
npm WARN first-app No repository field.
npm WARN first-app No README data
npm WARN first-app No license field.

• Next I created an empty file named app.js an pasted the following code (from the homepage):

import { AnalysisWebWorker } from "yoastseo";

const worker = new AnalysisWebWorker( self );
worker.register();

• Then run the file with node like follows: node app.js

• And the result:

/home/bringw/www/first-app/app.js:1
import { AnalysisWebWorker } from "yoastseo";
^^^^^^

Edit Also if I run: npm test

I get:

npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall open
npm ERR! path /home/bringw/www/first-app/package.json
npm ERR! errno -2
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/bringw/www/first-app/package.json'
npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.

Feedback?

The documentation is lacking seriously, there is no guide or anything, what are we supposed to do? :(

Thank you :D

I'm kind of progressing through it. But unable to generate the report... so I'm sort of creating my own report given the data.
