What should I do if npm cannot be used after node is installed?

Solution to the problem that npm cannot be used after node is installed: 1. Find and open the ".npmrc" file under the path "C:\Users\Administrator"; 2. Replace the content with "prefix=${ APPDATA}\npm registry = http://registry.cnpmjs.org”; 3. Save and re-check the npm version.

What should I do if npm cannot be used after node is installed?

npm is not available after installing node.js

I recently wanted to use Vue for a project, which relied on node.js, so I downloaded and installed node from the official website

Download address: https://nodejs.org/en/download/

There are also many tutorials on the Internet, which I won’t explain in detail here. The problem I encountered is that after the installation is completed,

Check the node version (command: node -v) is v10.16.0;

Check the npm version (command: npm -v) The cursor keeps flashing for a long time without responding.

At first I thought the version was unstable, so I re-downloaded a lower version, but it still didn’t work. I checked online and thought it was the system environment variables that were wrong. I followed the steps to reconfigure it, but still to no avail. Half a day later, I accidentally saw a blog with few visits. The situation was similar to mine (I forgot the address, but if I found it, I would have gotten it).

There is a file .npmrc.

under the path C:\Users\Administrator. Open it and replace the content with

prefix=${APPDATA}\npm
registry = http://registry.cnpmjs.org

and save it. Re-checked the npm version and finally it came out

Note: I am win10. I hope friends who encounter the same problem can solve it as soon as possible.
