npm init not creating package.json on my mac

When I try to create a package.json file using npm init I keep getting the following:

npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/init
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/init
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/daemon
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/daemon
init@0.1.2 node_modules/init
└── daemon@1.1.0

What is wrong? I have looked everywhere and I cannot find an answer. Here is what I get when I run the following command:

Amens-Mac-mini:~ amenmojara$ npm init =ddd
