I am trying to install nodes and when I open node-red the log says that npm could not be found

I get Nothing when I put where npm

For my node version I have v12.16.3 and for my npm version I have 6.14.4

Odd - that version of NPM is sufficient. How are you running node red (what command line do you use / how do you launch it) Is it a direct install or docker? what OS are you running on also, post a copy of the terminal startup log (as text (not screenshot) if possible)

It is a direct install I am using windows and the line I am using is node-red

copy and paste the text that appears after entering node-red please Paste it ... ``` like this - between three backticks (for formatting and readability purposes ```

Welcome to Node-RED =================== 24 May 16:49:26 - [info] Node-RED version: v1.0.6 24 May 16:49:26 - [info] Node.js version: v12.16.3 24 May 16:49:26 - [info] Windows_NT 10.0.17763 x64 LE 24 May 16:49:26 - [info] Palette editor disabled : npm command not found 24 May 16:49:26 - [info] Loadi…

That is most likely the answer I just need to look to where the path is

This is where the folder npm is C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm OI do not know if this is true or I am looking at the wrong file

what do you get if you enter where npm in a cmd window?

I think npm is not on the system path.

Add the directory of npm into system env vars
