Here i have followed documentation of official jenkins wiki page. Node JS Plugin

Answer 1

On step 2, you shouldn't be running npm install as a step of type Execute NodeJS script.

• This expects you to enter valid Node Javascript as the Script, for example console.log('I should be valid javascript code').

Leave Provide Node and npm bin/ folder to PATH marked and replace the Execute NodeJS script step with a Windows PowerShell script where you enter npm install as the Script value.
