Answer 1

In order to create a package.json file in /Users/matteomattiussi/Documents/Udemy/Bootstrap/bs4projects/bs4starter (if the directory already exists and you have npm installed):

cd /Users/matteomattiussi/Documents/Udemy/Bootstrap/bs4projects/bs4starter
npm init

In using package.json:

This will initiate a command line questionnaire that will conclude with the creation of a package.json in the directory you initiated the command.

You can use online JSON compiler and then download it in your directory. https://jsoneditoronline.org/ This is a example of a site which can create JSON file online.
