As mentionned by Royi Mindel the npm openssl package is just a wrapper around the openssl binaries and not the actual openssl. You need to install openssl on your Windows 10 machine as follows:

1. Download the binaries from https://code.google.com/archive/p/openssl-for-windows/downloads
2. Extract to C:\OpenSSL-Win32\ (or whatever name you want to give it).
3. Add the system environment variable OPENSSL_CONF with value c:\OpenSSL-Win32\openssl.cnf (points to the config file where you extrated the binaries)
4. Add C:\OpenSSL-Win32\bin to your Path environment variable
5. Open a cmd or PowerShell and type openssl version. It should work and you should see the version installed

By looking at the commands you are running, it seems like you are trying to use the installed npm module as an external command. You can achieve this only by installing the module globally:

npm install -g openssl

The warnings you get are expected. Each time you install a module locally, npm will try to update your package.json with the dependency to the module. Since you probably don't have a package.json in your home directory, you get the warning.
