i'm working on NPM terminal in VSCode as git and i installed an extension to support NPM but didn’t work and i just got that error

'npm' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.

EDIT

i already installed node.js , i just want to work in the regular command prompt rather than node.js cmd and i got errors but it worked well when i open cmd as an admin after adding 'C:\Program Files\nodejs' to the path. now how i work with npm in cmd without opening it as an admin ? i think it’s a permissions issue tho.

  • Maybe you installed Node before as Administrator, that's why it's requiring the same privileges. You can try to re-installing it on a non-Admin (?) account or check the solutions from [this other post](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22325031/npm-please-try-using-this-command-again-as-root-administrator). – Gino Mempin Jul 27 '18 at 09:01

What version do you have? It sounds like node is not installed.

Try to run npm -v to identify the version?

You can run npm commands in a VSCode terminal the same way you would run them in any terminal: npm <command>

This is assuming npm is properly installed.

Regarding the error you reported, maybe check this out: 'npm' is not recognized as internal or external command, operable program or batch file
