When I type npm install bcrypt into the console, this is the response. And bcrypt is not one of the folders under the NPM basics folder. There are many new folders, but not bcrypt. Also, it keeps shutting down the workspace.

Issues installing bcrypt?
If you are getting errors in the console while installing bcrypt, run
npm install bcryptjs
instead. Then require bcryptjs in app.js

because it's just the JavaScript/module and doesn't require any additional settings or configuration. Reference: [Question] Difference between bcrypt and bcryptjs
