Install npm (Node.js Package Manager) on Windows (w/o using Node.js MSI)

Question

The problem: while using nvm to install Node.js I was able to install the version of Node.js I need, but nvm does not install npm auto

Answer 1

I used quite @Eyuel method:

• Download the nodejs msi from https://nodejs.org/en/#download
• Download npm zip from github https://github.com/npm/npm
• Extract the msi (with 7 Zip) in a directory "node"
• Set the PATH environment variable to add the "node" directory
• Extract the zip file from npm in a different directory (not under node directory)
• CD to the npm directory and run the command node cli.js install npm -gf

Now you should have node + npm working, use theses commands to check: node --version and npm --version

Update 27/07/2017 : I noticed that the latest version of node 8.2.1 with the latest version of npm are quite different from the one I was using at the time of this answer. The install with theses versions won't work. It is working with node 6.11.1 and npm 5.2.3. Also if you are running with a proxy don't forget this to connect on internet :

• export http_proxy=http://proxy:8080
• export https_proxy=http://proxy:8080
• npm config set proxy http://proxy:8080
