# Node modules Directory

The package manager ([`npm`](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v7/commands/npm) or [`yarn`](https://yarnpkg.com/) or [`pnpm`](https://pnpm.io/cli/install)) creates the [`node_modules/` directory](/docs/guide/directory-structure/node_modules) to store the dependencies of your project.
