The command "npm install elastic-apm --save" is supposed to be run inside the root dir of the Node.js application that you want to monitor - not inside the apm-server directory. Each application that you want to monitor needs to have an APM agent installed as a dependency. Besides the APM agents, you must also deploy an APM Server that each agent can connect to. Multiple agents can all use the same APM Server. ---
