This is not a Docusaurus bug, however, this issue seems to be easily resolved.

How do I update a package.json that isn't there? It is happening upon executing docusaurus-init

[lex111]

As I understand it, you cannot install packages due to SSL restrictions, so you have not docusaurus-examples command.

I therefore provided links where you need to run the command like the one below to install all the required packages:

yarn config set "strict-ssl" false

Doesn't this fix the issue?

[AlbertDavid94]

Again, there is no package.json.

to clarify:
I want to install docusaurus as a standalone docs tool.
