Question

I have search quite extensively for an answer to this question and have not found one that address my particular issue. It involves the command line in windows. I am trying to follow a tutorial on using npm. All of the commands in this tutorial begins with $ this symbol, the dollar sign. When I type '$ npm config list' to get the configuration I get the not recognize message. Other similar questions describe other symbols or commands but not the '$' dollar sign. If anyone else has experienced this particular problem and solved it. I would appreciate your help. Thank you.
