Steps to install cypress:

Step 1: Create your project folder, go inside the folder from the terminal using cd folder_path/folder_name and run npm init. This will create your package.json file inside your project folder. You can do this in a sperate project or create some folder in your development project and do it there as well.

Step 2: Now, Run the command npm install cypress --save-dev. This will add the cypress as a dev dependency inside your package.json file. Once you have successfully installed this, you should see one more file package-lock.json and an folder node_modules being created

Step 3: Run the command node_modules/.bin/cypress open or node_modules/.bin/cypress run to run cypress.
