When Node js is not installed using the msi installer  npm needs to be setup manually    setting up npm  First  let s say we have the node exe file located in the folder c  nodejs  Now to setup npm-   Download the latest npm release from GitHub  https   github com npm npm releases   Create folders c  nodejs node modules and c  nodejs node modules npm Unzip the downloaded zip file in c  nodejs node modules npm folder Copy npm and npm cmd files from c  nodejs node modules npm bin to c  nodejs folder   In order to test npm  open cmd exe change working directory to c  nodejs and type npm --version  You will see the version of npm if it is setup correctly   Once setup is done  it can be used to install uninstall packages locally or globally  For more information on using npm visit https   docs npmjs com    As the final step you can add node s folder path c  nodejs to the path environment variable so that you don t have to specify full path when running node exe and npm at command prompt

I ve just installed 64 bit Node js v0 12 0 for Windows 8 1 from here  It s about 8MB and since it s an MSI you just double click to launch  It will automatically set up your environment paths etc   Then to get the command line it s just  Win-Key   S  for search and then enter   node js  as your search phrase    Choose the Node js Command Prompt entry NOT the Node js entry    Both will given you a command prompt but only the former will actually work  npm is built into that download so then just npm -whatever at prompt
