How can I install npm on Windows without using the Node.js MSI installer?

Hey, I ran into this same issue a while back.

When using nvm for Windows, sometimes npm doesn’t get installed properly with Node, even though it’s supposed to.

What worked for me was this:

bash
Copy
Edit
nvm uninstall 18.16.0
nvm install 18.16.0

Just make sure you run the nvm install again (not nvm use) npm usually comes bundled with Node, so a fresh install often solves it.

This is still the cleanest way to install npm on Windows if you’re using nvm.
