Does this answer your question? [NPM: npm-cli.js not found when running npm](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24721903/npm-npm-cli-js-not-found-when-running-npm) — Filburt, Jan 25 '22 at 16:35
Don't bypass our content filters by copy/pasting the same phrase over and over - it's extremely rude to bypass them just because you don't feel like adding more details (as per its request), as those filters are there **for a reason** - your question is severly lacking the context necessary to provide you with concrete advice on how to resolve your issue & I'm voting to close as such. Please familiarize yourself with [ask]. — esqew, Jan 25 '22 at 16:35

In my case, my partner folder contains the & character in the name that was causing the issue. File hierarchy R&D>remix>blog, changed it to RnD>remix>blog, and it started working fine. For some reason node is unable to find the modules because of those special characters.

Open "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin"
Right click npm.cmd and click edit
change the following lines

SET "NPM_CLI_JS=%~dp0\node_modules\npm\bin\npm-cli.js" to SET "NPM_CLI_JS=%~dp0\npm-cli.js"

and

SET "NPM_PREFIX_NPM_CLI_JS=%%F\node_modules\npm\bin\npm-cli.js" to SET "NPM_PREFIX_NPM_CLI_JS=%%F\npm-cli.js"

Try uninstall NodeJS and install again

Try to use the stable version: https://nodejs.org/dist/v16.13.2/node-v16.13.2-x64.msi
