What is the difference between SDK and API in general terms? 
Good question. They are sometimes mixed up.
API stands for Application Programming Interface and is only an interface that let’s different software communicate with each other.
SDK stands for Software Development Kit and usually bigger and contains more development tools than only an API does. In many instances, an SDK contains an API plus a bunch of other tools that are needed when developing software for a specific platform or use case.
I hope this quick explanation was of help to you. Otherwise let me know and I can explain in more detail.

I have a problem with instaling SDK library. In the tutorial min 2:10 it doesn;t work for me “ls package.json”
This command is not accepted .
Please Help
I got this error message after lauching main.js in the terminal
{ code: -1,

I have got the same, It is because I think library is not installed but I don’t know how to do that.
which library are you talking about ?
Watch 2:10 in tutorial. I am not programmer, rather begginner . I have the same problem and I don’t know how to solve it. Let me know if You find any solution
When I tape the command: npm install nem-sdk it’s installed but I didn’t get the yellow msg as in the video. but it’s clearly install!
what’s your computer ? I got a mac os high sierra
Also when I type command npm init: contrary to the tuto I have the same files in firstnemproject (node_modules package.json ) + package-lock.json
Did you install it in the same directory where you have all of your project files?
npm init? If yes I install it after cd firstnemproject command and main.js is also in firstnemproject
Try to run it with sudo first. So “sudo npm install -g npm”
But what I meant is that you need to run both the npm init and the npm install command in the directory where you have your main.js file.
what do you have when you type the command : ls
in the file SDK-NEM

“ls” is not recognized as an internal or external command
OMG I found a solution:) . My stupid ANTY -VIRUS program blocked instalation of SDK package. I have just turned of this program.
