Node.js/Windows error: ENOENT, stat 'C:\Users\RT\AppData\Roaming\npm'

Question

I have Windows 7 32-bit. I installed the latest Node.js 32 bit.
When I try to run the command npm install jquery, I receive the error:

Error: ENOENT, stat 'C:\Users\RT\AppData\Roaming\npm

How does one resolve it?

Answer 1

Manually creating a folder named 'npm' in the displayed path fixed the problem.

Answer 2

I ran into the same problem while installing a package via npm.

After creating the npm folder manually in C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\ that particular error was gone, but it gave similar multiple errors as it tried to create additional directories in the npm folder and failed. The issue was resolved after running the command prompt as an administrator.
