What is in the package.json file of the folder you are trying to install cucumber in? I'm on npm v4.0.5 and if I try to install cucumber when the name in the package.json is cucumber I get a similar error.

code ENOSELF
Refusing to install package with name "cucumber" under a package
also called "cucumber". Did you name your project the same
as the dependency you're installing?

I am on 3.8.9 of npm. Cloned master branch so whatever is there in package.json I am trying to install the same.

[mukteshkrmishra]

Here is the deal. I upgraded my Node and NPM, so I no longer receive the above error. however I started receiving a new error stating that module installation with same name (cucumber) cannnot be proceeded. Thus, I changed the project name in package.json as "cucumber1" and bam !! it got installed.
