C:\Users\me>npm
The system cannot find the path specified.

(My path is PATH: ...C:\Program Files\nodejs)

It is recognizing npm but there is some sort of configuration issue. What's wrong?

Unlike this post, my npm.cmd file is not corrupt.

If I use the npm command prompt, everything works; but on the standard command prompt, any npm or node command (eg: node -v or npm -v) gives "The system cannot find the path specified.".

node version: 6.2.2
npm version: 3.9.5

Check whether node.js is installed properly or not. – arjun kori Jul 13 '16 at 11:37
@arjunkori I'm pretty sure it is - how can I check? – Kev Jul 13 '16 at 11:48
Go in your PATH variable, check if it points to an existing NodeJS install – RDardelet Jul 13 '16 at 11:49

node -v and npm -v. Those will tell you which versions you have installed of each; please post that to aid debugging. – Paul Jul 13 '16 at 11:49
@RDardelet The only install linked to by PATH is c:\Program Files\nodejs\. This is the only install of node. – Kev Jul 13 '16 at 11:59
Yeah that's the one it should have, there is no npm path value since it goes through the node.exe app – RDardelet Jul 13 '16 at 12:00
did you solve this problem? How ? – gavdix Jun 05 '19 at 04:45
