In this article, we will explain how to install NPM on Windows.<\/p>\n

To install NPM (Node Package Manager) on Windows, you need to install Node.js, as NPM comes bundled with it.<\/p>\n

Follow the steps to install NPM on Windows:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. To download Node.js Installer:\n
      \n
    1. Go to the official website: https:\/\/nodejs.org<\/a><\/li>\n
    2. Download the LTS (Long Term Support) version for Windows (recommended for most users).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    3. Run the Installer:\n
        \n
      1. Double-click the downloaded \u201c.msi\u201d file.<\/li>\n
      2. Follow the installation wizard:\n
          \n
        1. Accept the license agreement.<\/li>\n
        2. Choose the destination folder.<\/li>\n
        3. Make sure \u201cInstall npm\u201d is checked.<\/li>\n
        4. Proceed with the installation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
        5. Verify Installation:\n
            \n
          1. Open Command Prompt (CMD) or PowerShell and run:\n
            node -v<\/pre>\n
            (to check Node.js version)<\/p>\n
            npm -v<\/pre>\n
            (to check NPM version)
            \nIf both show version numbers, it\u2019s installed correctly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
          2. Optional: Update NPM (if needed)\n
            npm install -g npm<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
