Fixing npm path in Windows 8 and 10

Question

Have done a lot of googling, tried reinstalling node.js using the official installer, but my npm pathing still doesn\'t work.

This doesn\'t work

npm          


        

Answer 1

If after installing your npm successfully, and you want to install VueJS then this is what you should do

after running the following command (as Admin)

npm install --global vue-cli

It will place the vue.cmd in the following directory C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\npm

you will see this in your directory.

Now to use vue as a command in cmd. Open the cmd as admin and run the following command.

setx /M path "%path%;%appdata%\npm"

Now restart the cmd and run the vue again. It should work just fine, and then you can begin to develop with VueJS.

I hope this helps.
