How to properly install modules for node.js under windows?

Question

Node.js

I'm trying to install some node.js module like bower. I run npm install -g bower, everything is installed, I try to run it, and I get an error "bower" is not an internal or external program, etc. I have the NODE_PATH = %AppData%\npm\node_modules variable set. I'm trying to run everything on windows 8. How to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Actually, the executable files are in %AppData%\npm
And this directory should be written in the PATH
variable Personally, I don't remember manually writing it. in my opinion, the node installer does this itself (the system only needs to be rebooted after the installation)
