Why npm is not working on Windows?

The Npm command not found error can appear when you install or upgrade npm. On Windows, the cause of this error could be that a PATH or system variable is not correctly set. The error can also occur if you do not have npm or Node. js installed, have an outdated version, or have permission issues.

How do I fix npm installation errors?

If your npm is broken: On Mac or Linux, reinstall npm. Windows: If you're on Windows and you have a broken installation, the easiest thing to do is to reinstall node from the official installer (see this note about installing the latest stable version).

Provided that you have Nodejs installed, start Windows CMD in admin mode and run the following:

npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

and restart your PC afterwards.
