title: npm install not working in laravel 5.6
body: <p>On a fresh install of laravel 5.6 via composer </p>
  
  <p>How I installed it:</p>
  
  <pre><code>composer create-project laravel/laravel
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After installing I ran:</p>
  
  <pre><code>npm install
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get back: </p>
  
  <pre><code>npm notice created a lockfile as package-lock.json. You should commit this file. Up to date in 0.163s.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It does not create a node_modules folder.</p>
  
  <p>If I try using <code>yarn</code> to install the dependencies using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>yarn install
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get back:</p>
  
  <pre><code>yarn install v1.3.2 info No lockfile found. Resolving packages... warning laravel-mix &gt; img-loader &gt; imagemin-mozjpeg &gt; mozjpeg &gt; bin-wrapper &gt; download &gt; gulp-decompress &gt; gulp-util@3.0.8: gulp-util is deprecated - replace it, following the guidlines at https://medium.com/gulpjs/gulp-util-ca3b1f9fac5 | Fetching packages... info fsevents@1.1.3: The platform 'win32' is incompatible with this module. info "fsevents@1.1.3" is an optional dependency and failed compatability check. Excluding it from installation. Linking dependencies.... Building fresh packages... success Saved lockfile. Done in 35.38s
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This creates a <code>node_modules</code> folder with only ".yarn-integrity' no modules.</p>
  
  <p>The link to the medium page doesn't work, receive 404 so no luck there.</p>
  
  <p>My node version is: "v8.9.4" and my yarn version is: 'v1.3.2'</p>
