To install NPM (Node Package Manager) on Windows, you need to install Node.js, as NPM comes bundled with it.

Follow the steps to install NPM on Windows:

1. To download Node.js Installer:
   1. Go to the official website: https://nodejs.org
   2. Download the LTS (Long Term Support) version for Windows (recommended for most users).
2. Run the Installer:
   1. Double-click the downloaded “.msi” file.
   2. Follow the installation wizard:
      1. Accept the license agreement.
      2. Choose the destination folder.
      3. Make sure “Install npm” is checked.
      4. Proceed with the installation.
3. Verify Installation:
   1. Open Command Prompt (CMD) or PowerShell and run:

      node -v

      (to check Node.js version)

      npm -v

      (to check NPM version)
      If both show version numbers, it’s installed correctly.

4. Optional: Update NPM (if needed)

   npm install -g npm
