Manually installing NPM packages

Question

I used the node windows installer v0.8.3 to install nodejs. When I try to install express like this:

npm install express

It\'s not working

Answer 1

Try npm install .\express (assuming the express folder is in the current folder).

The problem is that express in npm install express is parsed as a package name, while .\express in npm install .\express is parsed as a folder name.
