Answer 1

Node seems to be installed in "c:\Program Files\nodejs\" however yo seems to get installed in "c:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\npm\"

If you check this folder there should be a yo.cmd file. If there isn't then you have another issue and this will not fix our problem.

You can use the %APPDATA% variable as well.

You'll have to add this new path to your %PATH% environment variable.

Fix:

1. Right click "My Computer"
2. Click on Properties
3. Click Advanced system settings
4. click on Advanced tab.
5. click the Environment Variables... button
6. find the PATH variable and add to its value %APPDATA%\npm\ (use semicolon ";" to separate what you add from what is already there)
7. make sure that there are no extra spaces around the semicolon
